Answer: 1) 36°

2) Tasman Sea

Step-by-step explanation:

1) As degrees are on base 60 we have

-15' to 36 ans +45' to 37°

As 45'>15', the nearest degree is 36°

2) Those are coordinates of latitude and longitude.

You can see on any map that these coordinates take you to Tasman Sea, between Australia and New Zeland.
