Sydney, Australia is 13 hours ahead of my current location. If it's 3:00 pm here, what time is it in Sydney, Australia?

Answer 1

Eva Abramson

#4:00#am the following day

#3:00#pm #= 15:00# (on the 24 Hr clock)

#15:00 + 13# Hours #= 4:00# #(15+13-24)# the following day.

#= 4:00#am the folowing day

4am the next day

I'm going to use a 24-hour clock for this question to eliminate the whole "AM/PM" thing.

It's "3pm here" - which in a 24 hour clock is 15:00.

Australia is 13 hours ahead - so we add 13 hours:

#15:00+13:00=28:00#

Since the result is greater than 24, we've advanced a day. We subtract 24 hours to get the time:

#28:00-24:00=04:00=4am#

If it's 3:00 pm in your current location, it would be 4:00 am the next day in Sydney, Australia, considering the 13-hour time difference ahead.

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
