Respuesta :
The number of degrees of longitude that separate New York City and Reno, Nevada is 120 – 75 = 45 degrees of longitude. The time difference can be calculated by dividing it by 15 degrees because for every 15 degrees there is 1 hr difference. 45 / 15 = 3 hr difference
Answer:
New York City is located at coordinates 40° 39′ 40″ north latitude and 73° 56′ 38″ west longitude. Its time zone is the Eastern Time Zone (UTC -5).
In turn, Reno, Nevada, is located at coordinates 39° 31′ 38″ N and 119° 49′ 19″ W. Its time zone is the Pacific Time Zone (UTC -8).
As we can see, between Reno and New York there is a time difference of 3 hours: if in Reno it is 2:00 pm, in New York it will be 5:00 pm at the same time.
This is explained by the longitudinal difference between both cities: there are 45º 52 '41' 'degrees of difference between both cities.
