A game of chess started at \( 4: 17 \) pM. The game ended at \( 5: 02 \) PM. How long dids the game last? A 45 minutes B 55 minutes C 1 hour 5 minutes D 1 hour 15 minutes

1. The chess game started at \(4:17\) PM and ended at \(5:02\) PM. 2. Calculate the difference in time: - From \(4:17\) to \(5:00\) is \(60 - 17 = 43\) minutes. - From \(5:00\) to \(5:02\) is an additional \(2\) minutes. 3. Adding these together, the total duration is: \[ 43 \text{ minutes} + 2 \text{ minutes} = 45 \text{ minutes} \] Thus, the game lasted \(\boxed{45}\) minutes.
