The time zone wheel shown consists of two concentric circular pieces of cardboard fastened at the center so the smaller wheel can rotate. To find the time in Tashkent when it is 4 P.M. in San Francisco, you rotate the small wheel until 4 P.M. and San Francisco line up as shown. Then look at Tashkent to see that it is 6 A.M. there. The arcs between cities are congruent.
49. What is the arc measure for each time zone on the wheel?50. What is the measure of the minor arc from the Tokyo zone to the Anchorage zone?51. If two cities differ by 180° on the wheel, then it is 3:00 P.M. in one city if and only if it is ? in the other city.
