A group of friends, Peter, Mary and John, went on a road trip. Peter arrived at his destination at 12:45 after travelling for 20 minutes. They left Thaba Nchu at the time shown on watch A, which is 12

Watch A displays time using digits.

The type of watch represented in A is a digital watch.

Watch B is an analog clock. The hour hand is between 12 and 1, and the minute hand is pointing at 9. This indicates 45 minutes past the hour.
So, the arrival time is 12:45.

Peter arrived at 12:45 after travelling for 20 minutes. To find the departure time, subtract 20 minutes from the arrival time.

12:25 in words is twenty-five minutes past twelve.

The group left Thaba Nchu at the time shown on watch A, which is 12:45.

Convert total stop time to hours and minutes:

Driving time: 11 hours
Total stop time: 2 hours 22 minutes
Total travel time:

Our calculated arrival time is 02:07.
Therefore, the teacher is incorrect.

The period started at the time shown on watch A, which is 12:45.

Duration of the period: 45 minutes

There is a 5-minute break after the period.

Mr Matete stated the next period will start at 14:00.

Therefore, Mr Matete is incorrect.

He departed on the time shown on watch A, which is 12:45.
