3. look at the map. what continent is 40° north and 90° east?
4. look at the map. what continent is at 80° south and 0° longitude?
5. look at the map. what continent is at 0° latitude, and 30° east?

Explanation:

Question 1

From the text, lines of longitude run north - south. And by the concept of longitude, they measure distances east - west. So we refer to the description of lines of longitude.

The text says "Greenwich, England, and divides the world into the eastern hemisphere and the western hemisphere" related to the Prime Meridian. So we extract this information.

Looking at the map, at \(40^{\circ}\) north (latitude) and \(90^{\circ}\) east (longitude), we can see that the continent is Asia. We locate the coordinates on the given world - map with latitude and longitude lines.
