Answer 1

Answer:

2 PM.

Explanation:

When the time in New York is 7 AM then GMT will be 12 PM since New York is 75° West to the Greenwich which means the time in New York will be late by (75°÷15°= 5)  5 hours than Greenwich Mean Time. Since Durban is located 30 ° East of the Greenwich therefore, the time at Durban will be 2 (30°÷15°) hours preceding of GMT. Accordingly, 2 PM will be the time in Durban.
