Notes
M1: for correctly converting ‘3h 27m’ into a decimal (eg. 3.45)
For ‘3h 27m’ there must be some indication that this is the elapsed time from 20:07 to 23:34
M1: (independent)
allow ‘3h 27m’ × 224 or 3.27 × 224
For ‘3h 27m’ there must be some indication that this is the elapsed time from 20:07 to 23:34
NB. 224 × 20 07 gets M0
A1: accept 773
