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?
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.
