Group of answer choices

27° 3’ 24” N 188° 15’ 63” W

50° 5’ 30” S 119° 30’ 45” E

39° 15’ N 120° 50’ 20” W

43° 18’ 04” S 154° 22’ 10” E

Answer 1

The following latitude and longitude pair is written incorrectly:

27° 3’ 24” N 188° 15’ 63” W

For latitude, the maximum value for minutes is 59, but it shows 63. The correct format would be 27° 3’ 24” N 188° 15’ 60” W.

Therefore, the correct pair should be 27° 3’ 24” N 188° 15’ 60” W.
