What will be the local time in Nigeria 15oE when the time is 7.00 p.m. in town Y 30oW?
Answer Details
To solve this problem, we need to know the time difference between the two locations. Since Nigeria is 15 degrees east of the Prime Meridian (0 degrees), and town Y is 30 degrees west of the Prime Meridian, we can calculate the time difference as follows:
15 degrees east x 4 minutes/degree = 60 minutes (or 1 hour) ahead of GMT
30 degrees west x 4 minutes/degree = 120 minutes (or 2 hours) behind GMT
So, the time difference between the two locations is 3 hours (2 hours + 1 hour).
If it is 7.00 p.m. in town Y (30oW), then we need to add 3 hours to get the local time in Nigeria (15oE).
7.00 p.m. + 3 hours = 10.00 p.m.
Therefore, the local time in Nigeria (15oE) when the time is 7.00 p.m. in town Y (30oW) is 10.00 p.m.
