200

pi * r² + pi * r * l

300

This is the volume of a pyramid that has the same height and base area of a prism that has a volume of 3 cubic centimetres.

1 cubic centimetre

(it's just a third!)

400

3 x 10^-3

(we had to move the decimal place 3 places backwards)

200

This is time difference between LA (UTC-7) and New York (UTC-4)

3 hours

(LA is 3 hrs behind NYC)

300

This is the number of minutes of difference that a one degree of longitude difference is approximately equal to

4

(recall 1° = 4mins OR 15° = 60mins/1hr)

400

DAILY DOUBLE

UTC+11

(normally Sydney is UTC+10 but with daylight savings we put the clocks forwards an hour so we effectively become UTC+11)

500

This is the time (to the nearest minute) in Tokyo (36° N 140° E) when it is 4pm in Chennai (13° N, 80° E

8pm

(60° longitude difference is roughly 4 hours of time difference since 15° = 1 hr)

(NB. that Tokyo is further east and is therefore ahead! - think about how the sun rises in the east)
