Question

How do you find and estimate longitude and latitude on a map?

Answer 1

Its just like a graph!

(X,Y)

(Latitude, Longitude)

also, say Sara lives 72, 30 East from the Prime Meridian, and Abby lives 72, 30 West of the Prime Meridian, then they are both an equal distance from the Prime Meridian.  

Now if Sara lived 72, 30 North from the Equator and Abby lived -72, 30 from the Equator, then they would be an equal distance.

Answer 2

Understand latitude. latitude measures how a point is north or south of the equator. now understand longitude, longitude measures how far a point is easy or west of the prime meridian. understand how they appear on a map. now, i’m not the best at helping or explaining, so if this doesn’t help... then hopefully someone else answers for you.
