Answer 1

Answer:

The answers of the given questions are following-

a) Argentina 60° West- Greenwich mean time- 12:00 p.m. The distance between the 2 lines of longitude= 4 mins. 60× 4 min= 240 min or 4 hours behind {west(-)}. Hence the time on 60° would be 12- 4= 8:00 a.m.

b) Colombia 60 degree west- The Greenwich mean time- 12:00 p.m,  the distance between the 2 lines of longitude= 4 mins, 60× 4 min= 240 min or 4 hours behind {west(-)}. Hence time on 60° would be 12- 4= 8:00 a.m.
