Question

The time at the Greenwich Meridian is 1 PM calculate the time at a location 65 degrees west

Answer 1

Answer:

$Time = 8:40\ am$

Explanation:

Given

$Time = 1PM\ GMT$

$Location = 65^o\ W$

Required

Time at the given location

First, we convert degrees to time

$1^o =4\ mins$

S

So:

$Location = 65^o\ W$

$Location = 65 * 4\ mins$

$Location = 260\ mins$

Convert to minutes

$Location = 4hr: 20\ mins$

This means that the location is 4hr:20 minutes behind 1 PM

So, the time at the location is:

$Time = 1pm -4hr: 20\ mins$

$Time = 8:40\ am$
