Question

Panama City is located at 80 degree West longitude and Tokyo in Japan is located at 140 degree east longitude if it is 9:40 am in Tokyo what will be the time of Panama City​

Answer 1

Answer:

Each degree longitude equates to a 4 minute time difference. So the calculation is:

135 degrees - 75 degrees = 60 degree difference

60 degrees x 4 minutes = 240 minutes

240 minutes = 4 hours

12 hours + 4 hours = 16:00 or 4:00PM in Japan
