Question

will be the local time at Moscow 38 E
If the time at Greenwich is 10am

Answer 1

Answer:

The local time at Moscow will be 7 : 47 PM hours ahead of Greenwich.

Explanation:

Given :

• Moscow - 38° E longitude
• Time at Greenwich - 10 AM.

To find :

• The local time at Moscow.

Solution :

Statement - As we move towards the east of the Prime Meridian, the local time increases by 4 minutes for every longitude.

Total degrees of longitude

= 0° + 38°

= 38°

1° longitude = 4 minutes

38 = 38 × 4

= 152 minutes

= 152 ÷ 60 minutes

= 2 hours and 53 minutes

The local time at 38° longitude i.e. at Moscow will be 2 hours and 53 minutes ahead of Greenwich.

Time in difference

= 10 : 00 - 2 : 53

= 7 : 47

The local time at Moscow will be 7 : 47 PM hours ahead of Greenwich.
