Question

perform the calculation.
$79^{\circ}\\ 8 + 64^{\circ}\\ 45$

$79^{\circ}\\ 8 + 64^{\circ}\\ 45 = \square^{\circ}\\ \square$
(simplify your answers. type an integer or a fraction.)

Explanation:

Step1: Add degrees and minutes separately

First, add the degrees: \(79^\circ + 64^\circ = 143^\circ\). Then add the minutes: \(8' + 45' = 53'\).

Step2: Check if minutes exceed 60 (not needed here)

Since \(53' < 60'\), we don't need to convert minutes to degrees.

Answer:

\(143^\circ 53'\)
