Question 469Deck Safety70% to pass

How should longitude 116°54.9'E be written when preparing an AMVER report?

AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) 11655E. When writing longitude in an AMVER report, the format is degrees, minutes, and seconds, with the direction (E or W) appended to the end. In this case, the longitude 116°54.9'E should be written as 11655E, with the seconds (54.9') converted to minutes and seconds (55). The other options are incorrect because A) 117E is not the proper format, B) Q1169 does not correctly represent the longitude, and C) 116.9E does not include the minutes and seconds.
