The position of a place north or south of the equator is described
in terms of its latitude. Since we're talking about the surface of
a sphere, latitude is an angle, and its value is given in angle
measure.
Any unit of angle is fine ... degrees, radians, grads, etc., and if
you're given an angle in one unit, you can always easily change
it to a unit that you like better ... but 'degrees' has been the unit
used most often for latitude, and longitude too, practically since
the whole system was invented a few hundred years ago.
For parts of an angle smaller than a whole degree, 1/60 of a
degree (minutes) and 1/3600 of a degree (seconds) were used
traditionally for the first couple hundred years. But that ponderous,
inconvenient system is rapidly giving way now to plain old decimal
degrees, probably because those are easier for the computer to handle.
Answer:
You see that Celsius has 100 degrees between the freezing and boiling point, whereas Fahrenheit has 180 degrees between these two points. One degree Celsius is 1.8 times larger than one degree Fahrenheit.
Answer:
The revision likely helped producers in the United States, because they no longer had to comply with the expensive regulation.

Answer:
i. 3/5
ii. 2/5
Explanation:
Solving the problem by any of the students A, B and C is an independent event as solution by one does not restrict the other one from solving
However, the problem will be solved if even one of them solves the question
Now Probability of not solving the question by A, B and C are
PA (not solving a problem) - 1-1/3 = 2/3
PB (not solving a problem) - 1-1/4 = 3/4
PC (not solving a problem) - 1-1/5 = 4/5
ii) Probability of not solving - 2/3*3/4*4/5 = 2 *1/5 = 2/5
i) Probability of solving - 1- Probability of not solving
= 1 - 2/5 = 3/5
