Answer:
The answer is 4:00 am
Explanation:
* Nigeria Longitude = 15 degree East ; Time= 10:00 am
* New York Longitude = 75 degrees West
as we know it takes 1 hour for Earth to revolve 15 degrees
So, total degrees = (New York + Nigeria)
=(75+15)=90 degrees
now we have to divide 90 by 15 = 90/15= 6 hours
* whenever they ask the location toward the east we have to add it and when they ask about the West direction we have to subtract it
Now, (Nigeria time - 6 hours)
= (10 :00 am - 6 hours)
= 4:00 am
