Question

Two inertial frames S and S' are in the standard configuration, and the velocity of S' relative to S is v = +0.8c (along the x-axis). If the spacetime coordinates for an event in S' are (ct', x', y', z') = (0.5 m, 6 m, 3 m, 1 m), what is the time coordinate ct for this event in the S frame?
