A location that is +n hours ahead from GMT is n hours ahead of GMT , , and a location that is -n hours from GMT is n hours behind GMT. Costa Rica is -6 hours from GMT and India is +5.5 hours from GMT. If it is 7:45am in India , what time is it in Costa Rica ?

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
India is GMT +5.5
Costa Rica is GMT-6
Costa Rica is 11.5 hours BEHIND India.
If it is 7:45 am in India, we know that midnight the night before is 7h45m behind
we need 3h45 minutes more (behind) to reach 10h90m behind or 11h30m behind (11.5 hours)
8:15 pm is 3h45 minutes away from midnight, the day before. There is 3/4 hour to 9 p.m. then 3 more hours.
