○ 4:00 p.m
○ 12:00 a.m
○ 8:00 p.m
○ 9:00 a.m

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate arrival time in Denver

Flight leaves at 12:30 p.m. (Denver time) and takes 7.5 hours. 12:30 p.m. + 7.5 hours = 8:00 p.m. (Denver time).

Step2: Adjust for Hawaii time

Denver is 4 hours ahead of Hawaii, so subtract 4 hours from Denver's arrival time. 8:00 p.m. - 4 hours = 4:00 p.m.? Wait, no, wait. Wait, 12:30 p.m. + 7.5 hours is 8:00 p.m. Denver time. But Hawaii is 4 hours behind Denver, so Hawaii time is 8:00 p.m. - 4 hours = 4:00 p.m.? Wait, no, maybe I messed up. Wait, 12:30 p.m. plus 7.5 hours: 12:30 + 7 hours is 7:30 p.m., plus 0.5 hours is 8:00 p.m. Denver time. Then, since Hawaii is 4 hours behind Denver, we subtract 4 hours: 8:00 p.m. - 4 hours = 4:00 p.m.? But wait, the options include 9:00 a.m.? Wait, maybe I made a mistake. Wait, let's re - calculate. 12:30 p.m. is 12.5 hours in 24 - hour time. Add 7.5 hours: 12.5+7.5 = 20 (8:00 p.m. Denver time). Now, Denver is 4 hours ahead of Hawaii, so Hawaii time is 20 - 4 = 16 (4:00 p.m.)? But the options have 4:00 p.m. as an option. Wait, but maybe the question is considering the departure time in Denver, and when he lands in Hawaii, we need to consider the time difference. Wait, another way: The flight takes 7.5 hours. Departure time in Denver: 12:30 p.m. Arrival in Denver time: 12:30 + 7:30 = 8:00 p.m. Now, Hawaii is 4 hours behind Denver, so when it's 8:00 p.m. in Denver, it's 4:00 p.m. in Hawaii? But the options have 4:00 p.m. as the first option. Wait, but maybe I made a mistake in the time difference. Wait, maybe Denver is ahead, so Hawaii is behind, so to get Hawaii time, we subtract 4 hours from Denver's arrival time. So 8:00 p.m. - 4 hours = 4:00 p.m. So the answer should be 4:00 p.m.

Answer:

A. 4:00 p.m
