Answer:

The longitude of the location of the ship is W

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we have the time at the prime meridian as 2 pm while the time at the ship is 10 am. What this means is that the prime meridian is 4 hours ahead of the time of the location of the ship. Geographically, whenever a location is east of the prime meridian, it is ahead of the prime.
