• Relationship between degrees of longitude and time on Earth • Conversion of degrees to minutes of arc and then to time units • The fact that 15° of longitude = 1 hour of time

💭 Think About

• First, figure out how many degrees 0° 48' represents as a decimal of a full degree. • Use the standard relationship between degrees of longitude and time (hours) to convert that angle into time. • Once you have the time in hours, carefully convert that to minutes and seconds, watching your unit conversions.

✅ Before You Answer

• Confirm that you know how many degrees of longitude correspond to 1 hour of time. • Check your conversion of minutes of arc to degrees (there are 60 minutes of arc in 1 degree). • After converting to hours, double-check your steps converting hours → minutes → seconds so you don’t misplace a decimal.
