Answer 1

Abigail's mom will arrive home at 5:32 p.m., and dance practice starts at 6:00 p.m., so Abigail will have 28 minutes of time in between.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question asks us to calculate how much time Abigail will have between the time her mom gets home from work and the beginning of her dance practice. To solve this, we first need to determine what time Abigail's mom will arrive home. Since her mom will be home in 65 minutes and it is currently 4:27 p.m., we add 65 minutes to the current time.

Adding 60 minutes brings us to 5:27 p.m., and then adding the remaining 5 minutes makes it 5:32 p.m. Now, we find the difference between 5:32 p.m. and 6:00 p.m. which is when dance practice starts. From 5:32 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. is a duration of 28 minutes, so that's the amount of time Abigail will have between her mom's arrival from work and the start of her dance practice.
