At Place A, Long. 175° 10.5’ W, the  LMT  is  16h 02m 03s. Find the LMT and date at place B, Long.  32°08’ W.

Given:

 Longitude of Place B = 32° 08' W
Longitude of Place A =  175° 10.5' W
       LMT of Place A = 16h 02m 03s

Find:

LMT and the date of Place B

Solution:

1. Subtract the longitude of Place A and Place B.

Longitude of Place A =  175° 10.5' W
Longitude of Place B = -  32° 08' W                                                                                                    143° 2.5' E

2. Convert the difference of longitude into time.

    143° 2.5'
÷  15               
    9h 32m 10s

3. Add the answer in #2 to the date and time of Place A.

    Dec 3 16h 02m 03s
+              9h 32m 10s 
              25h 34m 13s
       + 1 -24h                     Since it is more than 24 hours.
    Dec 4 01h 34m 13s       is the date and LMT of Place B.
