3. The time in Accra (0°) is 11:00 am. Calculate the time in Dakar which is 17°W?
Step 1: Determine the longitude difference.
Accra is at 0∘ longitude. Dakar is at 17∘W longitude.
The longitude difference is 17∘−0∘=17∘.
Step 2: Calculate the time difference.
The Earth rotates 15∘ per hour.
Time difference =15∘/hour17∘=1.1333 hours.
Convert the decimal part to minutes: 0.1333×60minutes≈8 minutes.
So, the time difference is 1 hour and 8 minutes.
Step 3: Calculate the time in Dakar.
Since Dakar is west of Accra, the time in Dakar will be earlier.
Time in Dakar =11:00am−1hour8 minutes
Time in Dakar =10:52 am.
*10:52 am*
