Find the longitude of a town Y whose time is 8:00am when the time of another town X is longitude 30degrees east is 2 pm the same day​

Sagot :

Town Y = 60°W

Procedures:

A. Locate the places involved

B. Find the time difference

C. Convert the time difference to longitude

D. Adjust the longitude to the direction of movement (west or east)

A. 8am comes before 2pm

So Town Y is in West

B. 8—2 = 6hrs

C. Since 15° = 1hr

6 × 15 = 90°

D. Since the Town Y is in West, we subtract 90° from 30°E.

90° — 30° = 60°W

Therefore, the longitude of town Y= 60°W
