Question

Each degree is split into equal parts.

• A. 40
• B. 60
• C. 15
• D. 24

Answer 1

The correct option is B 60

A popular belief about the number of meridians is that there exist only 360 "important" degrees of longitude. However, it is essential to note that there is a considerable amount of distance between each meridian. To address this, each degree has been divided into 60 equal parts called minutes, with each minute being further divided into 60 seconds to improve accuracy.
