here is the completed table for Question 4:

To complete the table, we use the following relationships:

  • The Earth rotates 360∘360^\circ in 24 hours.
  • This means 1 hour corresponds to 15∘15^\circ of longitude (360∘/24 hours=15∘/hour360^\circ / 24 \text{ hours} = 15^\circ/\text{hour}).
  • Conversely, 1∘1^\circ of longitude corresponds to 4 minutes (60 minutes/15∘=4 minutes/∘60 \text{ minutes} / 15^\circ = 4 \text{ minutes}/^\circ).
  • Locations East of UTC are ahead in time, and locations West of UTC are behind in time.
  • UTC time is given as 12:00.

Here are the calculations for each row:

Rio de Janeiro:

  • Longitude of Rio de Janeiro is approximately 43∘W43^\circ\text{W}.
  • Difference in degrees: 43∘43^\circ.
  • Difference in time: 43∘×1 hour15∘=2.866... hours=2 hours and (0.866×60) minutes=2 hours 52 minutes43^\circ \times \frac{1 \text{ hour}}{15^\circ} = 2.866... \text{ hours} = 2 \text{ hours and } (0.866 \times 60) \text{ minutes} = 2 \text{ hours } 52 \text{ minutes}.
  • Ahead/Behind: West of UTC, so Behind.
  • Time: 12:00−2 hours 52 minutes=09:0812:00 - 2 \text{ hours } 52 \text{ minutes} = 09:08.

Berlin:

  • Longitude of Berlin is approximately 13∘E13^\circ\text{E}.
  • Difference in degrees: 13∘13^\circ.
  • Difference in time: 13∘×1 hour15∘=0.866... hours=0 hours and (0.866×60) minutes=0 hours 52 minutes13^\circ \times \frac{1 \text{ hour}}{15^\circ} = 0.866... \text{ hours} = 0 \text{ hours and } (0.866 \times 60) \text{ minutes} = 0 \text{ hours } 52 \text{ minutes}.
  • Ahead/Behind: East of UTC, so Ahead.
  • Time: 12:00+0 hours 52 minutes=12:5212:00 + 0 \text{ hours } 52 \text{ minutes} = 12:52.

Perth:

  • Longitude of Perth is approximately 116∘E116^\circ\text{E}.
  • Difference in degrees: 116∘116^\circ.
  • Difference in time: 116∘×1 hour15∘=7.733... hours=7 hours and (0.733×60) minutes=7 hours 44 minutes116^\circ \times \frac{1 \text{ hour}}{15^\circ} = 7.733... \text{ hours} = 7 \text{ hours and } (0.733 \times 60) \text{ minutes} = 7 \text{ hours } 44 \text{ minutes}.
  • Ahead/Behind: East of UTC, so Ahead.
  • Time: 12:00+7 hours 44 minutes=19:4412:00 + 7 \text{ hours } 44 \text{ minutes} = 19:44.

Tehran (first entry):

  • Given: Difference in time is 3.5 hours3.5 \text{ hours}.
  • Difference in degrees: 3.5 hours×15∘/hour=52.5∘3.5 \text{ hours} \times 15^\circ/\text{hour} = 52.5^\circ.
  • Ahead/Behind: Since the time is later than UTC (as indicated by the 3.5 hours3.5 \text{ hours} ahead), it is Ahead.
  • Time: 12:00+3 hours 30 minutes=15:3012:00 + 3 \text{ hours } 30 \text{ minutes} = 15:30.

Tehran (second entry):

  • Given: Ahead, Time is 15:3015:30.
  • Difference in time: 15:30−12:00=3 hours 30 minutes=3.5 hours15:30 - 12:00 = 3 \text{ hours } 30 \text{ minutes} = 3.5 \text{ hours}.
  • Difference in degrees: 3.5 hours×15∘/hour=52.5∘3.5 \text{ hours} \times 15^\circ/\text{hour} = 52.5^\circ.
  • Ahead/Behind: Ahead (pre-filled).
