Answer 2

Answer:

1,020seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

If Kristen gets home by 5:34pm and dinner is ready by 5:51pm, dorat we need to know interval of time between when when Kristen got home and the dinner time. Since the difference is within minutes, the distance will be the difference between the minutes hand .e 51-34 which is 17minutes.

To get the amount of seconds within this period, we will have to convert 17mimutes to seconds.

1minutes = 60seconds

17minutes = x seconds

Cross multiplying

x = 17×60

x = 1020seconds
