Question

If t
he time at 60° west longitude is 2:30 pm, find the local time at 15° East longitude

Answer 1

Answer:

7:30pm

Explanation:

longitudanal difference= 60+15=75

therefore time difference = 75*4= 300 minutes(each longitude covers 4 min)

time difference in hours = 300/60= 5 hr

therefore the time in 15 east= 2:30 + 5= 7:30 pm
