Question

3. Calculate the local time of a place where the longitude is 10 degrees E when it is 00:40hrs at Tokyo (140 degrees E).

Answer 1

Answer:

16:00

Explanation:

location of Tokyo = 140°E

location we want = 10°E

difference between them = 130

the place was 130 W from Tokyo

as we move towards west

1 = -4 minutes

130 = 130×4 = 520 minutes = 8hrs 40min

time at given place = 0hrs 40min - 8hrs 40min

(0hrs = 24hrs)

⇒24hrs 40min - 8hrs 40min

= 16:00
