To solve the problem of identifying the correct letters corresponding to the given latitude and longitude coordinates, we need to carefully analyze the map provided in the image. Here's a step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Understand the Map


- The map shows lines of latitude (horizontal lines) and longitude (vertical lines).
- Latitude lines are marked with degrees north (N) or south (S) of the equator.
- Longitude lines are marked with degrees east (E) or west (W) of the Prime Meridian (0° longitude).

Step 2: Match Coordinates to Letters


We will match each set of coordinates to the corresponding letter on the map.

#### 1. 60°S, 120°W
- Find 60°S latitude (south of the equator).
- Find 120°W longitude (west of the Prime Meridian).
- The intersection is near point F.

#### 2. 45°S, 150°E
- Find 45°S latitude.
- Find 150°E longitude (east of the Prime Meridian).
- The intersection is near point G.

#### 3. 75°N, 90°W
- Find 75°N latitude (north of the equator).
- Find 90°W longitude.
- The intersection is near point A.

#### 4. 60°N, 120°E
- Find 60°N latitude.
- Find 120°E longitude.
- The intersection is near point C.

#### 5. 30°S, 0°
- Find 30°S latitude.
- Find 0° longitude (the Prime Meridian).
- The intersection is near point I.

#### 6. 15°N, 45°W
- Find 15°N latitude.
- Find 45°W longitude.
- The intersection is near point B.

#### 7. 30°N, 180°E
- Find 30°N latitude.
- Find 180°E longitude (opposite the Prime Meridian).
- The intersection is near point J.

#### 8. 0°, 150°W
- Find 0° latitude (the equator).
- Find 150°W longitude.
- The intersection is near point H.

#### 9. 60°N, 60°E
- Find 60°N latitude.
- Find 60°E longitude.
- The intersection is near point D.

#### 10. 15°S, 75°E
- Find 15°S latitude.
- Find 75°E longitude.
- The intersection is near point K.

Step 3: Write the Answers


Now, we write the letters next to the correct coordinates:

1. F (60°S, 120°W)
2. G (45°S, 150°E)
3. A (75°N, 90°W)
4. C (60°N, 120°E)
5. I (30°S, 0°)
6. B (15°N, 45°W)
7. J (30°N, 180°E)
8. H (0°, 150°W)
9. D (60°N, 60°E)
10. K (15°S, 75°E)

Final Answer:


\[
\boxed{F, G, A, C, I, B, J, H, D, K}
\]
