An airplane leaves New York City (75 degrees west) for San Francisco, California (120 degrees west) at 11:00 P.M. on April 29. If the flying time is 8 hours, what is the date and time of arrival in San Francisco? Providing solutions would be great.

It leaves The New York city at 11.00 P.M. on April 29th.
At that time the time at California would be behind by (120-75)*4/60 hrs.i.e.3hrs and so 8 P.M. on April 29th.Add the flight time of 8 hrs and the flight will land in San Fransisco at 04.00 A.M. on April the 30th.For every deg due west you put the clock behind by 4 minutes.

Local time for New York would be 07:00 EST/DST 04/30 @ TOA in San Francisco, CA.
Local Time in San Francisco at TOA would be 04:00 PST/DST 04/30
EST - Eastern Standard Time
DST - Daylight Saving Time
PST - Pacific Standard Time
TOA - Time Of Arrival

I'm going to give this a shot...
Departure time:
11pm NY time = 8pm San Francisco Time
Arrival time is:
4am San Francisco Time April 30th

4 am, April 30 San Francisco time and date. 11pm April 29 NYC time and date+8hrs. flight time = 7am April 30 NYC time and date. Subtract 3hrs. for crossing 3 time zones from NYC to SF. You get 4am on the 30th of April S.F. date and time.

Um, you gave the flying time. 8 hours. That would make it 7 am EST on the 30th of April. Subtract 4 hours, and make it 3 am on the 30th if you want PST.
