To locate exact places on the earth, one must look at

If the prime meridian is 12 noon, what is the time 60 degrees east? (HINT! Divide 60 by 15 to find the time difference and EAST is LATER)

Coordinates can be written like this:

Base your answer to the following question on the passage and map below. The map shows sections of the Atlantic Ocean, the Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico

Shipwreck – In 1641, the crew of the ship Concepcion used the Sun and stars for navigation. The crew thought that the ship was just north of Puerto Rico, but ocean currents had carried them off course. The ship hit a coral reef and sank off the coast of the Dominican Republic. The X on the map marks the location of the sunken ship.

What is the approximate latitude and longitude of the sunken ship?
