Answer 1

8:28

Explanation:

Add up all the numbers

17min + 25min + 20min

One hour before 9:30 is 8:30 and 2 minutes before 8:30 is 8:28

Answer 2

A. 8:28 AM

First, you should find out how long she takes to get ready and get to work.

17+25+20= 62.

The answer is how long she has to get ready and get to work. Subtract the answer from 9:30.

9:30 - 62 minutes(1 hour and 2 minutes) = 8:28
