70% to passHow should longitude 116°24.3'W be written when preparing an AMVER report?
A
116°24.3W
B
116.4W
C
116W
D
11624W
AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) 11624W. The longitude 116°24.3'W should be written in the AMVER report format, which requires the longitude to be expressed in four digits. The first two digits represent the degrees (116), and the last two digits represent the minutes (24). The "W" is appended to indicate that the longitude is west. The other options are incorrect because A) 116°24.3W does not follow the AMVER report format, B) 116.4W does not accurately represent the minutes, and C) 116W does not provide the necessary level of detail for the minutes.
