Question

If your latitude is 36°15’ and you were going to round that to the nearest degree, what would the rounded answer be?

Answer 1

Answer: 1) 36°

2)  Tasman Sea

Explanation:

1) As degrees are on base 60 we have

-15' to 36 ans +45' to 37°

As 45'>15', the nearest degree is 36°

2) Those are coordinates of latitude and longitude.

You can see on any map that these coordinates take you to Tasman Sea, between Australia and New Zeland.
