It starts raining at 7:00 and pours heavily until its stops at 17:00  on a particular day. On the second day, the rain takes 2 more hours than it took on the first day to stop. On the third day, the rain pours for twice the amount of time it took on the second day. Calculate the total time it was raining in the three days.

How many hours did it rain on the first day? ** On the first day, it rained for 17:00 - 7:00 = 10 hours
How many hours did it rain on the second day? ** On the second day, it 10 hours + 2 hours = <<10+2=12>>12 hours for the rain to stop
How many hours did it rain on the third day? ** It rained for 2 * 12 hours = <<2*12=24>>24 hours on the third day.
How many hours did it rain in the three days? ** In the three days, it was raining for 24 hours + 12 hours + 10 hours = <<24+12+10=46>>46 hours.
