2. page 3 vame directions. Show all of your work. Write the corresponding time in a city in the Eastern time zone when it is \( 5: 06 \) P.M. in a city in the Pacific time zone.

When it's \( 5:06 \) P.M. in the Pacific Time Zone, you need to add three hours to convert the time to Eastern Time. So, \( 5:06 \) P.M. plus three hours becomes \( 8:06 \) P.M. in the Eastern Time Zone. Interestingly, the time difference reflects not only the geographical locations but also the historical development of time zones in the United States. Established in 1883, the creation of standardized time zones helped streamline rail travel and communication across the nation, making it easier to coordinate schedules and avoid confusion.
