Question

At 8:00 pm on Wednesday a friend in San Francisco, California (based on 120 degrees W) calls a friend in Miami, Florida (75 degrees W). What day and time is it in Miami

Answer 1

Answer:

11:00 pm Wednesday

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Current Time in San Francisco:

$Time = 8:00pm\ (Wednesday)$ at 120 deg W

Required

Determine the current time at Miami at 75 deg W

First, we need to calculate the hours difference between San Franciso and Miami

$Hours = 120\deg - 75\deg$

$Hours = 45\deg$

Convert degrees to hours.

$15\deg =1\ hour$

So:

$Hours = 45\deg$

$Hours = 3 * 15\deg$

$Hours = 3 * 1\ hour$

$Hours = 3\ hours$

The above is the time difference between San Francisco and Miami;

The time in Miami is then calculated as:

$Miami = 8:00pm + 3\ hours$

$Miami = 11:00pm$

Hence, the time at Miami is: 11:00 pm Wednesday
