*<\/sup><\/p>\n* Base 60 math because you are working with clock time not regular numbers. To figure my location, Washington, DC:
\nSunset – Sunrise = # daylight hours<\/span><\/p>\n
Sunrise: 5:42am (converts to 24 hour time as 05:42)
\nSunset: 8:36pm (converts to 24 hour time as 20:36)<\/p>\n
20:36 – 05:42 = # daylight hours<\/p>\n
Since you can’t subtract 42 minutes from 36 minutes you have to do the carry over but here is where the base 60 math comes in…you add 60 instead of 10 when you do the carry over so: <\/p>\n
20:36 becomes 19:96 (19h 96m) (instead of becoming 19-5, 13-4, 6-2 as it would in base 10)<\/p>\n
resulting in:
\n19:96 – 05:42 = 14h 54m<\/p>\n
