To solve this task, we need to match each set of latitude and longitude coordinates with the correct city and state shown on the map.
Let’s go one by one:
1.
33°N latitude, 112°W longitude
Look for where 33°N (between 30°N and 40°N) crosses 112°W (between 110°W and 120°W). That point is near Phoenix, Arizona.
→ Answer: Phoenix, Arizona
2.
35°N latitude, 78°W longitude
Find 35°N (just above 30°N) and 78°W (just east of 80°W). That’s Raleigh, North Carolina.
→ Answer: Raleigh, North Carolina
3.
46°N latitude, 96°W longitude
46°N is just below 50°N; 96°W is between 90°W and 100°W. That’s Fargo, North Dakota.
→ Answer: Fargo, North Dakota
4.
45°N latitude, 122°W longitude
45°N is halfway between 40°N and 50°N; 122°W is west of 120°W — that’s Portland, Oregon.
→ Answer: Portland, Oregon
5.
29°N latitude, 95°W longitude
29°N is just below 30°N; 95°W is between 90°W and 100°W — that’s Houston, Texas.
