On March 1st the sun sets at 6 PM. Every day after the sun sets 1.2 minutes later. It is 6:10 PM and 40 days after March 1st. How many minutes until the sun sets?
Thoughts? Step-by-step reasoning:
The sun will set 40 * 1.2 = 48 minutes later than it does on March 1st. That means the sun will set at 6:00 + 48 = 6:48 PM. So that means the time until sunset is 6:48 - 6:10 = 38 minutes.
Thus, the answer is 38.
