show.2. Read the labels at the top of the map. They show the

hours across the world when it is noon in Greenwich, England.

3. Locate a place whose time you currently know (Memphis, TN). Locate the place where you want to know the time. Count the number of time zones between them. Then add or subtract that number of hours.
