Answer 1

Answer:

To determine the time Milo will get back home, we need to add up the different time intervals mentioned in the chart.

First, Milo needs 15 minutes to travel from his house to the court (A). Then, the game starts at 9:00 AM (B).

Next, Milo needs 15 minutes to warm up for the game (C). After that, each quarter of the game lasts for 8 minutes (D). There are 4 quarters in a game, so the total playing time is 4 x 8 = 32 minutes.

Between the halves of the game, there is a 10-minute intermission (E). Finally, Milo spends 5 minutes with the Coach at the end of the game (F).

Now, let's add up the time intervals:

15 minutes (A) + 9:00 AM (B) + 15 minutes (C) + 32 minutes (D) + 10 minutes (E) + 5 minutes (F).

When we add these times together, we get a total of 15 + 15 + 32 + 10 + 5 = 77 minutes.

To find out what time Milo will get back home, we need to add this total to the starting time of the game, which is 9:00 AM.

So, 9:00 AM + 77 minutes = 10:17 AM.

Therefore, Milo will get back home at just before 10:17 AM.
