The table shows what time the sunrise and sunset occurred on dates in October. Based
on the data, what is the total number of
minutes of daylight recorded across these
dates?

There are 2,802 minutes of daylight recorded across these dates.

Step-by-step 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.
