Well, if you're in town A, we can say things are going "west-ward"! So, if it's 5:00pm on Friday in town A, and we're moving around the globe towards town B, we'll be moving ahead in time because we're going east.
For every 15 degrees of longitude we move, we add or subtract an hour. Since we're moving from 75 degrees west to 120 degrees east (195 degrees difference), we divide that by 15 to get 13 hours ahead.
So, we add 13 hours to 5:00pm, giving us 6:00am on Saturday in town B.
But keep in mind, this whole time zone thing can be quite confusing! Don't worry though, I'm here to bring a little laughter while you navigate through the wild world of timezones!
To find the time and day in town B based on the given information, we need to consider the time difference between the two locations.
First, let's determine the time difference in hours between the two longitudes.
The longitudinal difference between town A (75 degrees W) and town B (120 degrees E) is 195 degrees.
Since a full rotation around the Earth corresponds to 24 hours or 360 degrees, each degree of longitude represents about 4 minutes of time difference.
So, the time difference between town A and town B is calculated as follows:
195 degrees * 4 minutes/degree = 780 minutes
Now, let's convert the minutes to hours:
780 minutes / 60 minutes/hour = 13 hours
Therefore, the time difference between town A and town B is 13 hours ahead.
Next, we need to determine the day in town B.
If it is currently 5:00 pm on Friday in town A, adding 13 hours will give us the time in town B.
5:00 pm + 13 hours = 6:00 am
So, the time at town B would be 6:00 am.
Now, let's calculate the day in town B.
Given that it is Friday at 5:00 pm in town A, adding 13 hours would mean that 24 hours have passed, which brings us to Saturday at 6:00 am.
Therefore, the time and day in town B, based on the given information, would be 6:00 am on Saturday.
