Answer:

They should leave Carlo's house by 4:20 PM

Explanation:

The movie starts at 8:10 pm, they want to arrive 20 minutes before the movie starts

20 minutes before 8:10 pm = 7:50 pm.

Hence, they should arrive by 7:50 pm

Duration of their activities before the movie is calculated as:

They will bowl for one hour and dinner will take 1 hour and 15 minutes. Travel time is 20 minutes to the bowling alley, 45 minutes ta the restaurant, and ten minutes to the theater.

: 1 hour + 1 hour 15 minutes + 20 minutes + 45 minutes + 10 minutes

= 2 hour 15 minutes + 75 minutes

= 2 hour 15 minutes +1 hour 15 minutes

= 3 hours 30 minutes in total.

The time they are meant to leave is calculated as:

7:50 pm - 3 hours 30 minutes

= 4:20pm
