Q
Q: At which longitude would the local time be 3 hours ahead of GMT?
Solution:
Each hour corresponds to 15 degrees. Therefore, 3 hours ahead means 3 * 15 = 45 degrees east of GMT, which is 45°E.
Steps: 6
Show Steps
Step 1: Understand that GMT (Greenwich Mean Time) is the time at the Prime Meridian, which is 0 degrees longitude.
Step 2: Know that the Earth is divided into 24 time zones, and each hour corresponds to 15 degrees of longitude.
Step 3: Since we want to find a location that is 3 hours ahead of GMT, we need to calculate how many degrees that is.
Step 4: Multiply the number of hours (3) by the degrees per hour (15): 3 * 15 = 45 degrees.
Step 5: Since we are looking for a location that is ahead of GMT, we add this to the Prime Meridian, which gives us 45 degrees east.
Step 6: Therefore, the longitude where the local time is 3 hours ahead of GMT is 45°E.
