(simplify your answers. type integers or fractions.)

Explanation:

Step1: Convert 90° to 89°60'

Since 1° = 60', we can write 90° as 89° + 1°, and then convert that 1° to 60', so 90° = 89°60'.

Step2: Subtract degrees and minutes separately

Now subtract the degrees and minutes: 89°60' - 63°53' = (89° - 63°) + (60' - 53') = 26° + 7' = 26°7'.
