Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the time difference between two places located at 75° West and 45° West longitudes? (2020)
  • Step 1: Identify the longitudes of the two places. One is at 75° West and the other is at 45° West.
  • Step 2: Calculate the difference in longitude by subtracting the smaller longitude from the larger one: 75 - 45.
  • Step 3: Perform the subtraction: 75 - 45 = 30 degrees.
  • Step 4: Understand that the Earth is divided into 360 degrees of longitude and that each 15 degrees corresponds to a 1-hour time difference.
  • Step 5: Divide the difference in degrees by 15 to find the time difference in hours: 30 / 15.
  • Step 6: Perform the division: 30 / 15 = 2 hours.
