    Explanation:

    Sexagesimal is a numerical system that has 60 as its base. It originated in Mesopotamia around 3000 B. C. with the Sumerians. Later it was passed to the other civilizations and is in use today for some measurements like for time, angles or navigation. It was used later by the Babylonians and by China for calendars.
