Response:

$Max = 18\ mins$

$Min = 12\ mins$

Step-by-step explanation:

Information given:

$Time = 15\ mins$

$Variation = 3\ mins$

Objective:

Calculate the maximum and minimum values

The max value is found as follows:

$Max = Time + Variation$

$Max = 15\ mins + 3\ mins$

$Max = 18\ mins$

The min value is identified as follows:

$Min = Time - Variation$

$Min = 15\ mins - 3\ mins$

$Min = 12\ mins$
