If a foot ball match is going to be aired at 9 hrs G. M.T Sunday. At what time and day fans located at 40 degrees east Addis Ababa would see

Sunday at 12h.

Explanation: The timezones are determined by the meridians, i.e., the longitudinal lines that crosses the Earth from pole to pole.

The initial referential is at GMT, abbreviation for Greenwich Mean Time, located at the Royal Observatory in the United Kingdom.

The Earth rotates 360° in 24 hours, so each 15° is exposed to the Sun for 1 hour. So, at each 15° we add an hour if the location is due to east or subtract an hour if the location is due to west.

Addis Ababa is located at 40°, which is in the band between 30° and 45°.

Counting from the referential, there are 3 timezones going east. So, we add 3 hours to the initial hour:

9h + 3h = 12h

And the day is the same since the difference is only 3 hours ahead.

Thus, fans located at 40° east will watch a football match on Sunday at 12h.
