Answer:
The answer is 1pm.
Explanation:
Since we are mving towards the west we will take 70°-40°=30°.
So thirty is the difference in meridians
using the formula 1° = 4min
30°=?
cross multiply to get 30 x 4 = 120 min
1 hr = 60 min
? = 120 min
The answer will be 2 hours
so since we are moving backwards we will minus 2 hrs from 3pm
therefore : 3 . 00
- 2 . 00
________
1 . 00 pm
so the answer is : 1.00 pm
