Calculating Time 2

Calculating Time Ok, so we already know the following: - 1 hour is 15° - 1° is 4 minutes - Add 1 hour when moving to the east - Minus 1 hour when moving to the West Here's how to do your calculations Example 1 If a place is 45°E , then it is ahead of Greenwich Meridian. If the time is 12 midday at Greenwich what time will it be at 60°E? Step 1 45°E   = 3 hours ahead of Greenwich 15°E 12 midday plus 3 hours would be 3pm This could also be done using a number line Example 2 If a place is 76°E , then it is ahead of Greenwich Meridian. If the time is 12 midday at Greenwich what time will it be at 60°E? Step 1 76°E   = 5 hours remaining 1 ° 15°E 1 ° equals 4 minutes therefore  76 °E would be 5 hours and 4 minutes ahead of Greenwich 12 midday plus 5 hours and 4 minutes would be 5:04pm Try the Calculating Time Worksheet.
