At 1:15 the formula used to calculate cycle time shows as per day when, for this question, the production basis is hourly, so the formula should reflect that and the total number of seconds available in a single hour are 3,600 and the desired output is 180 units per hour. If there were 8 hours in a day available, the total time available would be 28,800 seconds and the output would be 1,440. The cycle time would then be 28,800 sec per day / 1,440 units per day = 20 sec/unit.
