Emmett had to read a newspaper article about science for homework. It was 6:42 P.M. when he began reading. When he finished reading it was 7:18 P.M. How long did it take Emmett to read the entire article?

Answer 1

To find the time it took Emmett to read the entire article, we need to find the difference between the starting time and the finishing time.

The starting time is 6:42 P.M. and the finishing time is 7:18 P.M.

To find the difference between these two times, we can subtract the starting time from the finishing time:

7:18 P.M. - 6:42 P.M. = 36 minutes

Therefore, it took Emmett 36 minutes to read the entire article.
