Hello. This question is incomplete. The complete question is:

Suzy and Heather are twin sisters at the local university. To save money, they have decided to live in university housing together. Both young women have heavy class loads and work part time as well. They need to make the most of their time. Heather is a superb cook. Suzy is great at housekeeping. Unfortunately, Heather is re-covering from a broken ankle and moves slowly due to a cast that will be on her leg for the next six weeks. Suzy and Heather calculated how much time it would take them to perform household tasks. Suzy spent 45 minutes on shopping for groceries, 40 minutes cooking dinner, and 60 minutes on daily cleaning tasks, while Heather spent 80 minutes on shopping for groceries, 45 minutes cooking dinner, and 90 minutes on daily cleaning task. In which task does Heather have an absolute advantage?

Answer:

Heather has no advantage in any of the tasks presented.

Step-by-step explanation:

As we can see in the text above, Heather has a broken leg bone and this is enough for us to realize that she has no advantage in any of the activities she does, as she needs to move slowly. The proof of this, is presented when we analyze the time that each of the girls spent in daily activities, and in all activities Heather needed more time to complete, even in the task that she had easier (cooking), Suzy had an advantage .
