\begin{tabular}{l|l}\hline 10. Monica really loved the strawberry Blow Pops \\ She was determined to go as long as she could without \\ crunching it. She put it in her mouth at \( 1: 46 \) but she \\ started crunching it at \( 2: 13 \). How long did she go \\ without crunching it? \end{tabular}

Monica put the strawberry Blow Pop in her mouth at \( 1:46 \) and started crunching it at \( 2:13 \). To find out how long she went without crunching it, we need to calculate the difference between these two times. First, we convert the times into minutes past midnight: - \( 1:46 \) is 106 minutes - \( 2:13 \) is 133 minutes Now, we subtract: \[ 133 \text{ minutes} - 106 \text{ minutes} = 27 \text{ minutes} \] So, Monica went for **27 minutes** without crunching her Blow Pop!
