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
Compute successive differences of the terms.
If they are all the same, the sequence is arithmetic and the common difference is the difference you have found.
If successive pairs of differences have the same ratio, the sequence is geometric and the common ratio is the ratio you have determined.
Example of arithmetic sequence:
1, 3, 5, 7
Successive differences are 3-1 = 2, 5-3 = 2, 7-5 = 2. All the differences are 2, which is the common difference of the sequence.
Example of geometric sequence:
1, -3, 9, -27
Successive differences are -3-1 = -4, 9-(-3) = 12, -27-9 = -36. These are not the same, so the sequence is not arithmetic. Ratios of successive pairs of differences are 12/-4 = -3, -36/12 = -3. These are the same, so the sequence is geometric with common ratio -3.
