Best answer

At one degree time changes by 4 minutes Difference between Greenwich and New Orleans is equal to 90°

Therefore time difference = 90 x 4 

= 360 minutes 

= 6 hours (360/60)

Since it is towards, west, time will decrease by 4 minutes on each longitude. Therefore, it will be 6 am in the morning.
