Answer:
The globe is divided into a North and South half, divided by the equator. N means North, S would be South of the Equator; ° is the symbol of degrees, ’ that of minutes.
Counting from the Equator to each pole there are 90 degrees: so 8° is 8 divided by 90 of the whole distance to the North Pole.
Each degree is divided into 60 minutes: 4’ means another 4 divided by 60 parts towards the North. There could also be seconds (one 60th of a minute) but none are given. So we have a measure 8°4’0” N.
