Makeeff is located at approximately which coordinates?

• A. 47°35'30"N-100°43'00"W
• B. 36°24'N-76°01'W
• C. 47°21'N-101°01'W
• D. 47°33'N-116°11'W

Answer: (A)

Understanding coordinates means reading latitude (how far north or south you are) and longitude (how far west or east you are) expressed in degrees, minutes, and seconds, with N/S and E/W indicators. The coordinates 47°35'30" north and 100°43'00" west place you well north of the equator in the northern United States and well west of the prime meridian, which aligns with the central North Dakota region where Makeeff is located. The latitude around 47.6°N keeps you in the northern Plains, and the longitude around 100.7°W places you in the central Dakotas, matching the expected area for Makeeff.

Other options would shift you to clearly different regions—one has a southern latitude around 36°N, which would be far down the east coast; another places you far west (around 116°W) in the Idaho/Washington area; and a slightly different longitude in the 101°W range would still be in the same general vicinity but not the precise point. The combination of 47°35'30" N and 100°43'00" W best matches Makeeff’s approximate coordinates.
