To solve the problem, we need to determine the time in each of the specified countries relative to the UK (which is in the
Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) zone, or UTC+0). We will use the time zone map provided to find the time difference for each country.
Step-by-Step Solution:
1.
Identify the UK's Time Zone:
- The UK is in the
UTC+0 time zone (Greenwich Mean Time).
2.
Determine the Time Zones of Each Country:
- Use the map to find the time zone for each country listed.
3.
Calculate the Time Difference:
- For each country, note whether it is ahead (+) or behind (−) the UK.
- Add or subtract the time difference from 12 o'clock (noon) in the UK to find the local time.
