8:00 am\text{8:00 am}

Step-by-step solution

3 steps
  1. Calculate the longitude difference.

    Accra is at 0∘0^\circ longitude. Kigali is at 15∘15^\circ East longitude.
    The difference in longitude is:

    ΔLongitude=15∘ East−0∘=15∘\Delta \text{Longitude} = 15^\circ \text{ East} - 0^\circ = 15^\circ
  2. Convert the longitude difference to a time difference.

    The Earth rotates 360∘360^\circ in 24 hours. This means 1∘1^\circ of longitude corresponds to:

    24 hours360∘=115 hours/∘=4 minutes/∘\frac{24 \text{ hours}}{360^\circ} = \frac{1}{15} \text{ hours/}^\circ = 4 \text{ minutes/}^\circ

    The time difference is:

    Time difference=15∘×4 minutes/∘=60 minutes=1 hour\text{Time difference} = 15^\circ \times 4 \text{ minutes/}^\circ = 60 \text{ minutes} = 1 \text{ hour}
  3. Determine the time in Kigali.

    Since Kigali is East of Accra, the time in Kigali will be ahead of Accra's time.

    Time in Kigali=Time in Accra+Time difference\text{Time in Kigali} = \text{Time in Accra} + \text{Time difference} Time in Kigali=7:00 am+1 hour=8:00 am\text{Time in Kigali} = 7:00 \text{ am} + 1 \text{ hour} = 8:00 \text{ am}

    The time in Kigali is 8:00 am\text{8:00 am}.
