Why this worked. Think about what we did, play around with some numbers, try to visualize it. HINT: If you have anything you can use to SHOW why it worked, try that. I recommend M&M's or a candy that has color. I suggest showing your number, and whats done to it in one color... 10 and what happens to that in another.

Think of a number 1-10
Double it
Add 10 to that number
Divide it by 2
Subtract your original number

Your answer is 5

10 divided by 2 equals 5 and your original number added then subtracted would be 0, so 0 + 5 equals 5

Step-by-step explanation:

the degrees would remain the same ( the number to the left of the decimal point.

the multiply the decimal by 60 to get the minutes and use the numbers to the left of the decimal point.

then multiply the decimal portion of that by 60 for the seconds and round off as needed.

39 .956652

the 39 remains the degrees.

the minutes = 0.956652 x 60 = 57.39912

the minutes = 57

the seconds = 0.39912 x 60 = 23.95 = 24 ( rounded to nearest tenth)

so 39.956652 = 39 degrees, 57 minutes and 24 seconds

-75.159809

the -75 remains the degrees

the minutes = 0.159809 x 60 = 9.58854

the minutes = 9

the seconds = 0.58854 x 60 = 35.31, rounded to nearest tenth = 35.3 seconds

so -75.159809 = -75 degrees, 9 minutes and 35.3 seconds.

the first coordinate is north or south, since it it positive it is north.

the second number is east or west, because it is negative it is west.

39 degrees, 57 minutes and 24 seconds n

-75 degrees, 9 minutes and 35.3 seconds w
