13.A second dance routine begins at 3 minutes 06.480 seconds and finishes at 3 minutes 51.120 seconds. Calculate its duration in seconds.

14.Describe how a spreadsheet could calculate a journey duration when a departure time is entered in cell A2 and an arrival time in B2. Include the formula idea and one relevant time unit.
