a football match being played at Sao Paulo Brazil started in India at 6 a.m. IST explain what would be the local time at Sao Paulo
Answers
Here is your answer
Answer:
1) For any longitude lying to the west of particular longitude, the local time decreases by 4 minutes for every longitude. (Sao Paulo is located to the west of India)
2) The difference between the longitudes of Sao
Paulo and India = 127 degree 30 minutes.
3) Difference in local time = 127.5 × 4
= 510 minutes.
= 510minutes ÷ 60minutes
= 8 hours 30 minutes.
4)Thus, if it is 6 a.m. at India, it would be 9.30 p.m.
of the previous day at Sao Paulo. Therefore, if a
football match being played at Sao Paulo, Brazil
started in India at 6 a.m. IST, the local time at
Sao Paulo would be 9.30 p.m. of previous day.
