Atotal eclipse in 2003 lasted 2 17/24,minutes in 2005 it lasted 3/8 of a minute how much longer did it last in 2003

Total eclipse was minutes longer than in 2005.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given in the question that total eclipse in 2003 lasted minutes and in 2005 it lasted 3/8 of a minute.

We have to calculate how much longer did it last in 2003.

So we have to subtract the duration in 2003 by duration in 2005

Total time taken in 2003- total time taken in 2005

minutes

minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that in 2003, a total eclipse lasted for minutes and in 2005, it lasted for minutes.

To find out how much longer did the total eclipse last in 2003, we simply need to find the difference between the duration of two eclipses.

= -

= -

=

=

So it lasted minutes longer in 2003.

3/4 ÷ 3/4

step-by-step explanation:

basically divide any proper fraction with itself to fit the criteria.

so if we are using 3/4, then:

3/4 ÷ 3/4 = 1

so 1 is the quotient.

and the numerators for both these fractions is 3.   and if we divide the numerators:

3 ÷ 3 = 1

we see that quotient is equal to our original quotient as well.

a=24; b=12

step-by-step explanation:

a/b=2: 1

a=2b

36/(1+2)=12

b=12

a=24
