To solve the problem, we need to understand the time zone differences between the various regions mentioned in the task. Canada spans multiple time zones, and each region has a specific offset relative to Eastern Time (ET), which is the reference point for many of these calculations.
Key Time Zone Information:
1.
Eastern Time (ET): This is the standard time zone for Toronto and other eastern parts of Canada.
2.
Mountain Time (MT): 2 hours behind ET.
3.
Atlantic Time (AT): 1 hour ahead of ET.
4.
Pacific Time (PT): 3 hours behind ET.
5.
Newfoundland Time (NFT): 1.5 hours ahead of ET.
6.
Iqaluit: Located in the Central Time Zone (CT), which is 1 hour behind ET.
7.
St. John's: Uses Newfoundland Time (NFT), which is 1.5 hours ahead of ET.
8.
Whitehorse: Located in the Pacific Time Zone (PT), which is 3 hours behind ET.
9.
Halifax: Uses Atlantic Time (AT), which is 1 hour ahead of ET.
Now, let's solve each part of the problem step by step:
---
1. If it is 7:00 p.m. in Eastern Time, it is ______ in Mountain Time.
-
Eastern Time (ET): 7:00 p.m.
-
Mountain Time (MT): 2 hours behind ET.
- Calculation: 7:00 p.m. - 2 hours = 5:00 p.m.
Answer: 5:00 p.m.
---
2. If it is 6:00 p.m. in Atlantic Time, it is ______ in Halifax.
-
Atlantic Time (AT): 6:00 p.m.
-
Halifax: Uses Atlantic Time (AT).
- Since Halifax is already in Atlantic Time, the time remains the same.
Answer: 6:00 p.m.
---
3. If it is 5:00 p.m. in Pacific Time, it is ______ in New Westminster Time.
-
Pacific Time (PT): 5:00 p.m.
-
New Westminster: Uses Pacific Time (PT).
- Since New Westminster is already in Pacific Time, the time remains the same.
Answer: 5:00 p.m.

4. If it is 2:00 p.m. in Iqaluit, it is ______ in Whitehorse.
-
Iqaluit: Uses Central Time (CT), which is 1 hour behind ET.
-
Central Time (CT): 2:00 p.m.
-
Eastern Time (ET): 2:00 p.m. + 1 hour = 3:00 p.m.
-
Whitehorse: Uses Pacific Time (PT), which is 3 hours behind ET.
- Calculation: 3:00 p.m. - 3 hours = 12:00 p.m.
Answer: 12:00 p.m.
---
5. If it is midnight in Toronto, it is ______ in St. John's.
-
Toronto: Uses Eastern Time (ET).
-
Eastern Time (ET): Midnight (12:00 a.m.).
-
St. John's: Uses Newfoundland Time (NFT), which is 1.5 hours ahead of ET.
- Calculation: 12:00 a.m. + 1.5 hours = 1:30 a.m.
Answer: 1:30 a.m.
---
6. If it is 2:30 a.m. in Halifax, it is ______ in Chatham.
-
Halifax: Uses Atlantic Time (AT).
-
Atlantic Time (AT): 2:30 a.m.
-
Chatham: Uses Eastern Time (ET), which is 1 hour behind AT.
- Calculation: 2:30 a.m. - 1 hour = 1:30 a.m.
Answer: 1:30 a.m.
