Answer:
There are 2,802 minutes of daylight recorded across these dates.
Explanation:
Elapsed Time
Elapsed time is the amount of time that passes from the start of an event to its finish.
We have to recall 1 hour has 60 minutes. Another useful fact is that from a specific time AM to the same time PM there are 12 hours or 720 minutes.
Let's find the minutes of daylight recorded day by day.
Oct, 4th:
From 7:26 am to 7:26 pm there are 720 minutes. Since the sunset time is 13 minutes less, the minutes of daylight are 720 - 13 = 707 minutes.
Oct, 6th:
From 7:27 am to 7:27 pm there are 720 minutes. Since the sunset time is 18 minutes less, the minutes of daylight are 720 - 18 = 702 minutes.
Oct, 8th:
From 7:28 am to 7:28 pm there are 720 minutes. Since the sunset time is 21 minutes less, the minutes of daylight are 720 - 21 = 699 minutes.
Oct, 10th:
From 7:30 am to 7:30 pm there are 720 minutes. Since the sunset time is 26 minutes less, the minutes of daylight are 720 - 26 = 694 minutes.
The total minutes of daylight is 707 + 702 + 699 + 694 = 2,802 minutes
There are 2,802 minutes of daylight recorded across these dates.
