Question 97766: Travelers have reset their watches only when the time change equals 1.0h. How far on the average must you travel in degrees of longitude until your watch must be reset by 8 hours? Answer by stanbon(75887) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! 360 degrees / 24 hrs. = 15 degrees of longitude/hour
------------------
A change of 8 hours would equate to 8*15 = 120 degrees of longitude.
