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
