15 hours. Her softball coach scheduled double practices to prepare for state finals. Her aunt has asked her to babysit
her niece a few hours each night. On top of all this, she wants to spend some much-needed quality time with her
friends. Alicia wishes there were 86 hours in a day instead of 24.

of its earnings to help a neighboring country recover from a natural disaster. The president of the country imagines
