Suppose you are trying to find your longitude

and start looking for when the shadows are

shortest at your house. You discover that this

happens at 1:15:23 p.m. EDT (Eastern Daylight

Savings Time). What is the time in GMT?

Remember that EDT = GMT - 4.

Respuesta :

Answer: 5:15:23 pm

Step-by-step explanation:

There are different time zones in the world due to the Earth's rotation as this results in different parts of the Earth receiving sunlight at different times.

GMT is used as a basis to find the times of other zones.

In this instance, EDT time is -4 that of GMT.

This means that EDT is 4 hours behind GMT.

Time in GMT is therefore:

=  1:15:23 + 4 hours

= 5:15:23 pm
