Work out, in hours and minutes, Riley’s total travelling time. (3)
| Answer | Mark | Mark scheme |
|---|---|---|
| 7 hours 56 minutes | P1 | for process to begin to work with speed, eg \(143 \div 55\ (= 2.6)\) |
| P1 | for process to work in minutes, eg \(\text{``}2.6\text{''} \times 60\ (= 156 \text{ mins})\) and \(5 \times 60 + 20\ (= 320 \text{ mins})\) or for 476 (mins) or for process to work in hours eg “2.6” and \(5\frac{20}{60}\ (= 5.33\ldots)\) or for 7.93... or for process to work in hours and minutes, eg \(\text{``}2\text{''} + (\text{``}0.6\text{''} \times 60)\ (= 2 \text{ hrs } 36 \text{ mins})\) | |
