On November 1st the zone time is 1700 EST (ZD +5) in LONG 75°W. What is the corresponding zone time and date in LONG 135°E?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Zone description (ZD) sign convention and how it relates to longitude (east vs. west of Greenwich) • How to convert local zone time to GMT/UTC and then from GMT/UTC to another zone time • How crossing the International Date Line (IDL) or changing many time zones can change the calendar date

💭 Think About

• Start by converting 1700 EST (ZD +5) to GMT/UTC. What operation (+ or -) do you use with the zone description? • Next, determine the zone description at 135°E and convert GMT/UTC to that new local time. How many hours difference is there between 75°W and 135°E? • After you find the time difference, ask: does adding or subtracting that number of hours move you into the next calendar day or the previous calendar day?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify the correct ZD for 135°E and whether it is positive or negative • Check if the total hour difference between the two longitudes correctly reflects that one is west and the other is east of Greenwich • Confirm whether the resulting time lands on the same date, the next date, or the previous date before picking an option
