A ship is located at 5°S, 76°W. Based on this information, which conclusion can be drawn about the ship’s location?

The latitude 5°S means the ship is 5 degrees south of the equator, so it is near the equator. The longitude 76°W places it west of the prime meridian, not in the Eastern Hemisphere or near the prime meridian.
