The difference in longitudes will be 112.5° (450/4). Since the time at given place is less than GMT, the place is to the west of GMT. So, the longitude of a place where the local time is noon is 112.5° W

Answer:

time difference is 4 hrs.

The Greenwich Meridian is 0°

The time difference = 4 s = 240 mins The time difference between two

consecutive longitudes = 4 mins

Longitude

= Time difference in mins / T.d between 2 cons..

= 240/4

= 60 degrees

So, the longitude is 60° W and is behind the Greenwich Meridian.

Hope this helps you

Thanks
