Question

Gareth goes from Hunslet to Wakefield by Bus.
Gareth takes 18 minutes to get from his house to the bus stop in Hunslet.
He takes 10 minutes to get from the bus stop in Wakefield to work.
Gareth has to get to work by 9:45 am
He leaves his house at 8:30am
Will Gareth get to work by 9:45 am?

Answer 1

First, let's calculate the total travel time Gareth spent on the bus journey.

Gareth spends 18 minutes to get from his house to the bus stop in Hunslet.
He then spends 10 minutes to get from the bus stop in Wakefield to work.
Thus, the total travel time on the bus is 18 + 10 = 28 minutes.

Now, let's calculate the total time Gareth spent on the entire journey.

Gareth leaves his house at 8:30 am.
We add the total travel time on the bus (28 minutes) to the time he left the house: 8:30 + 0:28 = 8:58 am.

Therefore, Gareth will arrive at work at 8:58 am, which is earlier than his required arrival time of 9:45 am.
