A) add the seconds. If the total goes over 60 seconds, then carry that as a minute plus the extra seconds
18°35’ 29”
22° 55’ 41” So 41+29=70seconds = 1 minute + 10 seconds
Then add the minutes. If the minutes go over 60, carry as a degree
55+35+1 (add 1 for the minute carried above) = 91 = 1 degree+31minutes
18+22+1 (add 1 for the degree carried above) = 41
-------------
41 31 10
