Step-by-step solution for: World Time Zones - ESL worksheet by Fenixgirl
To solve this task, we need to use the world time zone map provided in the image. The key is to understand that each time zone is generally one hour apart, and we can calculate the time difference between cities by looking at their positions on the map relative to Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) or Coordinated Universal Time (UTC).
Let's go through each question step by step:
- Given: It is 10:00 am in Moscow.
- Step 1: Find Moscow on the map. Moscow is in the +3 time zone.
- Step 2: Find Madrid on the map. Madrid is in the +1 time zone.
- Step 3: Calculate the time difference. Madrid is 2 hours behind Moscow (3 - 1 = 2).
- Step 4: Subtract 2 hours from 10:00 am.
\[
10:00 \, \text{am} - 2 \, \text{hours} = 8:00 \, \text{am}
\]
- Answer: 8:00 am
- Given: It is 10:00 am in Moscow.
- Step 1: Find Los Angeles on the map. Los Angeles is in the -8 time zone.
- Step 2: Calculate the time difference. Los Angeles is 11 hours behind Moscow (3 - (-8) = 11).
- Step 3: Subtract 11 hours from 10:00 am.
\[
10:00 \, \text{am} - 11 \, \text{hours} = 11:00 \, \text{pm} \, (\text{previous day})
\]
- Answer: 11:00 pm (previous day)
- Given: It is 10:00 am in Moscow.
- Step 1: Find Hong Kong on the map. Hong Kong is in the +8 time zone.
- Step 2: Calculate the time difference. Hong Kong is 5 hours ahead of Moscow (8 - 3 = 5).
- Step 3: Add 5 hours to 10:00 am.
\[
10:00 \, \text{am} + 5 \, \text{hours} = 3:00 \, \text{pm}
\]
- Answer: 3:00 pm
- Given: It is 12:00 o'clock GMT.
- Step 1: Find Tokyo on the map. Tokyo is in the +9 time zone.
- Step 2: Calculate the time difference. Tokyo is 9 hours ahead of GMT.
- Step 3: Add 9 hours to 12:00 o'clock.
\[
12:00 \, \text{o'clock} + 9 \, \text{hours} = 9:00 \, \text{pm}
\]
- Answer: 9:00 pm
- Given: It is 12:00 o'clock GMT.
- Step 1: Find Denver on the map. Denver is in the -7 time zone.
- Step 2: Calculate the time difference. Denver is 7 hours behind GMT.
- Step 3: Subtract 7 hours from 12:00 o'clock.
\[
12:00 \, \text{o'clock} - 7 \, \text{hours} = 5:00 \, \text{am}
\]
- Answer: 5:00 am
- Given: It is 10:00 am in Moscow.
- Step 1: Find Berlin on the map. Berlin is in the +1 time zone.
