Final answer:

To find the total time to listen to the CD, add up the lengths of the songs and the breaks in between. There are 5 songs and 4 breaks of 0.05 minutes each. The total time is approximately 15.43 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the total time it takes to listen to the CD, we need to add up the lengths of the songs and the lengths of the breaks in between. The table shows the length of each song, so we can simply add those values. There are 5 songs, so we need to add 4 breaks of 0.05 minutes each. calculating, we get:

Song 1: 2.83 minutes

Song 2: 3.15 minutes

Song 3: 2.98 minutes

Song 4: 3.33 minutes

Song 5: 2.94 minutes

Adding up the song lengths: 2.83 + 3.15 + 2.98 + 3.33 + 2.94 = 15.23 minutes

Adding up the break lengths: 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 = 0.2 minutes

Finally, we add the total song length with the total break length: 15.23 + 0.2 = 15.43 minutes

Therefore, it takes approximately 15.43 minutes to listen to the CD from the beginning of the first song to the end of the last song. None of the given options are correct.
