hi friends

I want answer and solution from you! i know the answer , but not the solution!(i read it in a magazine)


Joan doesn't like to be late, so she sets her watch ahead by 7 minutes. When she travels from Los Angeles to Chicago, she forgets to adjust her watch. In addition, her watch stops for a full 23 minutes before she notices. By how many minutes is her watch off?

A. 90
B. 104
C. 120
D. 136

bye

According to me, the answer is 136.

There is a time zone difference of 120minutes between LA and Chicago. And her watch by itself is off by (23-7) = 16 minutes.

I hope I am right

Cheers!
Kalayama

Yes kalayama, Your answer should be correct.

I am not sure of the difference in time zone between LA and Chicago, but I know that the difference in time zones of USA is always divisible by 30 minutes.

+16 (23-7) factor is absolutely correct. There is no doubt about that.

The answer is say X + 16.

A) X + 16 = 90
X = 90-16 = 74 --- not divisible by 30.

B) X + 16 = 104
X = 104-16 = 88 --- not divisible by 30.

C) X + 16 = 120
X = 120-16 = 104 --- not divisible by 30.

D) X + 16 = 136
X = 136-16=120 --- divisible by 30.

So, the answer should be 136.
