Final answer:
The time in Quito, Ecuador is the same as the time in Kansas City, which is 3:00 pm on Friday.
Step-by-step explanation:
To determine the time in Quito, Ecuador (75 W), we need to consider the time difference between Kansas City (90 W) and Quito, as well as the presence or absence of daylight saving time in each location. Kansas City is 15 degrees west of the prime meridian, and each time zone is 15 degrees wide.
Therefore, Kansas City is 5 time zones west of the prime meridian. Quito, on the other hand, is 75 degrees west of the prime meridian, which is equivalent to 5 time zones.
Since both cities are in the same time zone and daylight saving time is not being observed in Quito, the time in Quito will be the same as the time in Kansas City. Therefore, the correct answer is b) Friday, 3:00 pm.
