Question

1. What will be the time at 75°W longitude.
2. Find out the time at 90 degree east longitude
Pls solve in steps!​

Answer 1

Explanation:

1. Longitude of New York = 75°W

Longitude of Madras = 80°E

Difference in degrees = 75° + 80° = 155°

Difference in time per degree = 5 minutes

The time in New York is UTC-4 from March to November and UTC-5 from November to March. The time in India is UTC+5:30. Therefore, when it’s 3 PM Indian Standard Time, the time in New York is either 4:30 AM EST or 5:30 AM EDT, depending on the date.

2. We know that each 15 degree makes an hour

15 degree = 1 hour

90 degree = 90/15=6 hours

Note: when places are located to the East of pm or GMT, the time will be ahead of PMT or GMT and vice-versa

So, 90 degree is to the east of PM, time will be

2:00pm +6 hours = 8:00pm on 90 degree east

Thank you! I hope you are happy with my answer.
