If the question here is Suzette late? Then the answer is:

First hallway: change in t = change in d / v = 35.0 m / 3.50 m/s = 10.0s

Second hallway: change in t = change in d / v = 48.0 m / 1.20 m/s = 40.0 s

Third hallway: change in t = change in d / v=60.0 m / 5.00 m/s = 12.0s

=10.0s + 40.0s + 12.0s = 62.0s

This is 2 s after the bell rings so, Suzette is late again for the third time.
