If it's 3 a.m. in the Eastern Time Zone, in what time zone is it 4 p.m.?

Answer :

it would be 1oclock the next day

When it is 3 AM in the Eastern Time Zone, it is 4 PM in the time zone that is UTC+8. This corresponds to a time difference of 13 hours. Thus, the time zone 8 hours ahead of UTC is where it is 4 in the afternoon.

If it is 3 in the morning in the Eastern Time Zone, we need to find out which time zone it is 4 in the afternoon.

The Eastern Time Zone (ET), also known as Eastern Standard Time (EST), is five hours behind Coordinated Universal Time (UTC-5). Therefore, 3 AM in ET corresponds to 8 AM UTC (3 AM + 5 hours).

Now, we need to find a time zone where it is 4 PM (16:00) when it is 8 AM UTC. To go from 8 AM to 4 PM, we add 8 hours (8 AM + 8 hours = 4 PM). Therefore, the time zone that is 8 hours ahead of UTC (UTC+8) corresponds to 4 PM when it is 3 AM ET.

Hence, when it is 3 in the morning in the Eastern Time Zone, it is 4 in the afternoon in the time zone that is UTC+8.
