trains begin to stop at terminal b every morning at 5 a.m. and then come every 20 minutes for the next 3 hours. mr success needs 15 minutes to get to terminal b from his house.
.if mr. success leaves his house at 7:08 a.m., what is the earliest time he can get the train at terminal B?
.explain how you got the answer. include the time he arrives at the train station as well as the time he can expect to get on the train.
The train comes at 7:00, 7:20, and 7:40
7:08 + :15 = 7:23
He would arrive at 7:23 but he would miss the train at 7.
7:08 + 0:15 = 7:23-7:20= 3 Minutes Late
7:40 - 7:23 = he would wait 17 minutes for the next train
To find the earliest time Mr. Success can get the train at Terminal B, we first need to determine the train schedule during the time period from 7:08 a.m. onwards.
The trains begin stopping at Terminal B every morning at 5 a.m., and they come every 20 minutes for the next 3 hours. This means that from 5 a.m. to 8 a.m., there will be 9 sets of trains arriving at Terminal B.
To calculate the arrival times of these trains, we start at 5 a.m. and add 20 minutes for each subsequent train.
5 a.m. + 20 minutes = 5:20 a.m.
5:20 a.m. + 20 minutes = 5:40 a.m.
And so on...
By adding 20 minutes each time, we can calculate the arrival times of all 9 trains between 5 a.m. and 8 a.m.
Next, we need to determine at what time Mr. Success will arrive at Terminal B. Given that he needs 15 minutes to get to Terminal B from his house, we can subtract 15 minutes from 7:08 a.m. to find his arrival time.
7:08 a.m. - 15 minutes = 6:53 a.m.
Therefore, Mr. Success will arrive at Terminal B at 6:53 a.m.
Now, we need to find the earliest train Mr. Success can catch. Since he arrives at 6:53 a.m. and the first train arrives at 5 a.m., we know that he will have to wait for the second train.
The second train arrives at 5:20 a.m., so Mr. Success will need to wait for 6 minutes and 53 seconds (6:53 a.m. to 5:20 a.m.) in order to catch that train.
Therefore, the earliest time Mr. Success can get the train at Terminal B is at 5:20 a.m., and he will arrive at the train station at 6:53 a.m.
