Allister,treat the time as a degree minute and secound on your calculator.Use the degree, minute, secound format of your calculator. * ' " Ex. : 9 hrs 00min. 00 secounds. Input 9* 00' 00"into your calculator in the * ' " mode and multiply by 15 = Longitude. In the same format divide the longitude by 15 to get the time. Ex. : 9 hrs of time to longitude. 9* 00' 00" on the calculator x 15 = 135* 00' 00" in longitude. 135* 00' 00" longitude on the calculator/15 = 9* 00' 00" of time. 9 hrs of time = 135* longitude.
