Answer:
To find the duration of the game in minutes, we need to calculate the difference between the starting time and the finishing time.
Starting time: 9:39 a.m.
Finishing time: 10:28 a.m.
First, let's convert both times to minutes:
Starting time: \(9 \times 60 + 39 = 579\) minutes
Finishing time: \(10 \times 60 + 28 = 628\) minutes
Now, to find the duration of the game, we subtract the starting time from the finishing time:
\[628 - 579 = 49\] minutes
So, it took Scott 49 minutes to finish the game.
