4.2.3 Calculate the following: (a) A train departs from a station at 09:55 and travels to a town 97 km away at an average speed of 79 km/h - NSC Mathematical Literacy - Question 5 - 2024 - Paper 2

The train departs at 09:55. Adding the journey time of 1 hour and 13 minutes:

09:55 + 01:13 = 11:08

So, the train will arrive at the town at 11:08.

To find the total distance from station A to station C, add the distances from station A to station B and station B to station C:

Distance from A to C = Distance from A to B + Distance from B to C

$$\text{Distance from A to C} = 713 \, \text{km} + 552 \, \text{km} = 1265 \, \text{km}$$

Thus, the distance from station A to station C is 1265 km.
