I really don't think "latitude" is the coordinate you want, but I'll answer as if it is.
-- The southernmost point of the [48 contiguous] US is Ballast Key in Florida, at 24.52° North latitude.
-- The northernmost point of Africa is near Bizerte in Tunisia, at 37.33° North latitude.
-- So the [48 contiguous] US are not separated at all from Africa in latitude. In fact,
they overlap by about 12.8 degrees of latitude ... a little over 880 miles !
-- Hawaii, at 18.93° - 22.24° North latitude, is completely within the latitude range of Africa.
-- The southernmost point of Alaska, at the southern tip of Dall Island, is 54.66° North latitude ...
17.33° (about 1,200 miles) farther from the equator than the northernmost point in Africa.

∙ 9y agoSome of it is, and some of it isn't.
North America covers a range of about 75.8 degrees in latitude,
and Africa covers a range of about 72 degrees.
They overlap through a range of about 30 degrees.
So you'd have to say that about 60 percent of all the latitudes in North America are farther north than anywhere in Africa.
But you can't say that 60 percent OF North America is farther north than anywhere in Africa.
The overlap in latitudes covers the skinniest part of North America and the fattest part of Africa.
So if you took the time to measure the land areas, it might turn out that only a small percentage
of North America is farther north than Africa, and most of North America is not.
