Ellie must be ready for her football match which kicks off at 8.45 a.m. It takes Ellie 15 minutes to get up and change into her football kit. Breakfast takes 20 minutes. The football pitch is a five minute walk from her home. The team has to warm up for seven minutes before the kick off. To be on time for kick off, which of these times must Ellie wake up?
A 8.02 a.m. B 8.01 a.m. C 8.00 a.m. D 7.59 a.m. E 7.58 a.m
E
Distinguishing figurate and written numbers amongst the data, the process of getting Ellie to the kick off on time takes 15 + 20 + 5 + 7 = 47 minutes. So, working back from the kick off time 8.45, Ellie needs to wake up at 7.58 a.m., answer E
