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
:D
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:D
Cheers!

hi
yeah, the answer is 136.
I didnt knew about time zone difference
bye
:D
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.:D
+16 (23-7) factor is absolutely correct. There is no doubt about that.:cool:
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 [B]136[/B].
Oh... vmshenoy already gave the answer, I did't see that.
