Explanation:

Step1: Calculate maximum time

To find the maximum time, we add the variation to the average time.
$58.2 + 6.4$

Step2: Calculate minimum time

To find the minimum time, we subtract the variation from the average time.
$58.2- 6.4$

Answer:

Maximum time: $64.6$ seconds, Minimum time: $51.8$ seconds
