Incorrect
The prime meridian is a line of longitude at `0°`On the opposite side of the prime meridian lies the `180°` meridian.Finding the Time Difference
`1°` of longitude to the west `=` subtract 4 minutes (West = lest)`1°` of longitude to the east `=` add 4 minutes (East = beast)First, draw a rectangle with the Prime Meridian and two longitudesSince one longitude is the west and the other is to the east, the Prime Meridian should be in the middle
The prime meridian is also called Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) or Coordinated Universal Time (UTC)Draw a line that connects the two longitudes
This represents a plus sign, which means we must get the sum of the two longitudes`12°+58°` `=` `70°` Next, solve for the minute difference by multiplying `4``70°``xx4` `=` `280` minutes Since Rome is to the east of Buenos Aires, add `280` minutes to `10`am`10`am `+280` minutes `=` `10`am `+4` hours `40` minutes Divide minutes by `60` to convert to hours `=` `10°00°+04°40°` press the DMS button on the calculator for every `°` `=` `14°40’` The time is in pm or in the afternoon since it is greater than `12`.Subtract `12` hours to get a proper time format`1440` hours `-12` hours `=` `02:40`pm The time in Rome is `02:40`pm Tuesday`02:40`pm Tuesday -

`1°` of longitude to the west `=` subtract 4 minutes (West = lest)`1°` of longitude to the east `=` add 4 minutes (East = beast)First, draw a rectangle with the Prime Meridian and two longitudesSince both longitudes are to the west, the Prime Meridian should be drawn last
The prime meridian is also called Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) or Coordinated Universal Time (UTC)Draw a line that connects the two longitudes
This line represents a minus sign, which means we must get the difference between the two longitudes`118°-9°` `=` `109°` Next, solve for the minute difference by multiplying `4``109°``xx4` `=` `436` minutes Since Lisbon is to the east of Los Angeles, added `436` minutes to `2`pm`2`pm `+436` minutes `=` `2`pm `+7` hours `16` minutes Divide minutes by `60` to convert to hours `=` `14°00°+07°16°` Convert `2`pm to military time by adding `12` `=` `21°16’` `=` `2116` hours The time is in pm or in the afternoon since it is greater than `12`.Subtract `12` hours to get a proper time format`21:16-12` hours `=` `09:16`pm The time in Lisbon is `09:16`pm Wednesday`09:16`pm Wednesday -
