Answer 1

The baseball game that Alonzo watched started at 10:33 a.m. and ended at 2:53 p.m., which is a total duration of 4 hours and 20 minutes (Option A).

Step-by-step explanation:

To find out how long the baseball game lasted, we need to calculate the time difference between the start and end times of the game. Alonzo watched a game that started at 10:33 a.m. and ended at 2:53 p.m.

First, we figure out the time from 10:33 a.m. to 11:33 a.m., which is one hour. From 11:33 a.m. to 12:33 p.m. is another hour, and from 12:33 p.m. to 1:33 p.m. is yet another hour. Adding one more hour, we reach 2:33 p.m., which is 4 hours after the start of the game.

Now, we need to add the additional minutes from 2:33 p.m. to 2:53 p.m., which is 20 minutes. So, the game lasted for 4 hours and 20 minutes. Thus, the correct answer is Option A) 4 hours and 20 minutes.
