3/8 of 1 hour or 60 mins = 3/8 * 60= 22.5
Total time used = 36 + 22.5= 58.5 mins
Reading time= 1 hour - time used in other activities

Answer:
The worst days of any summer are the rainy ones. We spend all year looking forward to
nice weather and long, hot days. All of winter, with its dreary gray days and bitter cold,
we dream of those endless days at the beach, laying on the sand and soaking in the bright
and burning sun. And then, summer comes, and it rains.
2. As a child, I would wake up to rainy summer days and come close to crying. It wasn’t
fair. We suffered through months of school and miserable weather for those scant ten
weeks of freedom and balmy weather. Any day that I could not spend at the beach or
playing ball with my friends seemed like a punishment for something I didn’t even do.
3. On those rainy summer days, I had nothing fun to do and could only sit inside, staring out
at the rain like a Dickensian orphan. I was an only child, so there was no one else to play
with. My father worked from home, so I was not truly alone, but he could not actively
play with me since he was technically at work. It was those days that I would resign
myself to whatever was on television or any books that I could find lying around. I’d
crawl through the day and pray each night that the rain would not be there the next day.

4. As an adult, though, my opinion of summer rain has changed. When you have to work
every day, summer is not as eagerly anticipated. Mostly, the days run together, bleeding
into each other so that they no longer seem like separate entities and instead feel like
continuations of the same long day. Everything seems monotonous and dull, and an ennui
or listlessness kicks in. Such a mindset makes you cheer for anything new or different. I
spend the winter dreaming of summer and the summer dreaming of winter. When
summer comes, I complain about how hot it is. And then I look forward to the rain,
because the rain brings with it a cold front, which offers a reprieve—admittedly one that
is all too short—from the torture of 100° and humid days. Rainy days are still the worst
days of the summer, but summer rain today means positively beautiful—and considerably
cooler—weather tomorrow.
