Age of Data: _____________________

Solution Convert the recorded time to local time.

Step 1:

07 DEC 07 = December 7, 2007

UTC – 7 hours = PST

12:00 UTC – 7 hours = 5:00 PST

5:00 UTC = 5:00 am PST, so . . .

Time and Date: 5:00 am December 7, 2007

Solution Calculate the “age” of the data.

Step 2:

Current Time – Recorded Time = Age of Data

3:00 pm December 7, 2007 – 5:00 am December 7, 2007 =

0 days, 12 hours, 0 minutes
