Answer:
Total eclipse was minutes longer than in 2005.
Step-by-step explanation:
It is given in the question that total eclipse in 2003 lasted minutes and in 2005 it lasted 3/8 of a minute.
We have to calculate how much longer did it last in 2003.
So we have to subtract the duration in 2003 by duration in 2005
Total time taken in 2003- total time taken in 2005
minutes
