Base from the graph the number
of degrees of longitude that separate new York and reno Nevada is 120 – 75 = 45
degrees of longitude. The time difference can be calculated by dividing it by
15 degree because for every 15 degrees there is 1 hr difference. 45 / 15 = 3 hr
difference

The time difference at the longitude is the time that varies with the place and the movement of the earth at 360 degrees. The degree of longitude is an imaginary line near the equator that runs from the north pole to the south pole.

While reading the map, it was noticed that there is a time difference of 3 hours between Reno and New York: 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.
