Local mean time at 72 degrees west longitude is UTC-4:48.
No it is longitude that is used to determine local time
The time difference between the local time and Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) is 2 hours. Since there are 360 degrees of longitude in a full circle and 24 hours in a day, each hour of time difference corresponds to 15 degrees of longitude. Therefore, the longitude of the town would be 30 degrees west of the Prime Meridian (Greenwich).

Greenwich Mean Time is the local mean time at Greenwich, England, which is along the prime meridian (0° longitude).
Local mean time at 72 degrees west longitude is UTC-4:48.
local timeThe time of a place when the midday sun is overhead is called local time.It changes from place to place.The place on the same longitude has the same local time.standard time The local time of the standard meridian of a country is called standard time.It remains same for that particular country.the place on the same longitude has the different standard time.The main difference between local time and standard time is, the local time changes from a place to place, but the standard time remains fixed for the particular country. As per local time, the place/location on the same longitude will have the same local time, but as per the standard time the place on the same longitude will have different standard time.
For each degree of longitude to the east, the local mean time is four minutes ahead.

Yes. Standard time is that defined along a particular longitude. Local time is related to the longitude of the place concerned. 24 hours = 360 degree. Therefore 1 degree = 4 minutes. Cities to the east of the Standard time longitude are ahead and vice versa for Cities to the west.

They don't. Local time alters with longitude, by one hour per 15 degrees.
The Greenwich Meridian, also known as the prime meridian or International Meridian, is the "starting point" for dividing the Earth's surface into time zones. Each time zone is 15 degrees of longitude wide (with local variations) and the local time is one hour earlier than the zone immediately to the east on the map
