How many standard time zones will a country with a longitudinal extent of 150° have?
Answer Details
The Earth has 360 degrees of longitude, and there are 24 standard time zones spread across the Earth's surface, with each standard time zone covering 15 degrees of longitude. Therefore, a country with a longitudinal extent of 150 degrees would cover 10 standard time zones (150/15). The number of standard time zones a country covers depends on the country's longitudinal extent, and how many 15 degree segments that extent covers. So, the correct answer is 10.
