Let's solve each question step by step using the time zone map provided. The map shows time zones relative to Coordinated Universal Time (UTC), with positive values indicating hours ahead of UTC and negative values indicating hours behind UTC.
Step 1: Identify the time zones for key cities
From the map:
-
London: UTC +0
-
New York: UTC -5
-
Moscow: UTC +3
-
Los Angeles: UTC -8
-
Vancouver: UTC -8
-
Sydney: UTC +10
-
Toronto: UTC -5 (same as New York)
-
Tokyo: UTC +9

Now, let’s answer each question:
---
1. If it is noon in London, what time is it in New York?
- London: UTC +0 → 12:00 PM
- New York: UTC -5 → 5 hours behind London
- 12:00 PM – 5 hours =
7:00 AM
✔ Answer: 7:00 AM
---
2. If it is noon in New York, what time is it in London?
- New York: UTC -5 → 12:00 PM
- London: UTC +0 → 5 hours ahead
- 12:00 PM + 5 hours =
5:00 PM
✔ Answer: 5:00 PM
---
3. If it is noon in London, what time is it in Moscow?
- London: UTC +0 → 12:00 PM
- Moscow: UTC +3 → 3 hours ahead
- 12:00 PM + 3 hours =
3:00 PM
✔ Answer: 3:00 PM
---
4. If it is noon in Moscow, what time is it in New York?
- Moscow: UTC +3 → 12:00 PM
- New York: UTC -5 → 8 hours behind (3 to 0 is 3 hours, then 0 to -5 is 5 more → total 8)
- 12:00 PM – 8 hours =
4:00 AM
✔ Answer: 4:00 AM
---
5. If it is noon in New York, what time is it in Los Angeles?
- New York: UTC -5 → 12:00 PM

9:00 AM
✔ Answer: 9:00 AM
---
6. If it is noon in Los Angeles, what time is it in Vancouver?
- Los Angeles: UTC -8 → 12:00 PM
- Vancouver: UTC -8 → same time zone
- So, same time:
12:00 PM
✔ Answer: 12:00 PM
---
7. If it is noon in Vancouver, what time is it in Sydney?
- Vancouver: UTC -8 → 12:00 PM
- Sydney: UTC +10 → 18 hours ahead (from -8 to +10 is 18 hours)
- 12:00 PM + 18 hours = 6:00 AM next day
✔ Answer: 6:00 AM (next day)
---
8. If it is noon in Vancouver, what time is it in Toronto?
- Vancouver: UTC -8 → 12:00 PM
- Toronto: UTC -5 → 3 hours ahead

---
9. If it is noon in London, what time is it in Tokyo?
- London: UTC +0 → 12:00 PM
- Tokyo: UTC +9 → 9 hours ahead

9:00 PM
✔ Answer: 9:00 PM
---
10. If it is noon in Tokyo, what time is it in New York?
- Tokyo: UTC +9 → 12:00 PM
- New York: UTC -5 → 14 hours behind (9 to 0 is 9, 0 to -5 is 5 → total 14)
- 12:00 PM – 14 hours = 10:00 PM previous day
