Answer 1

B.

Explanation:

270 degrees 34' 48'.

Answer 2

B. 270 degrees 34' 48'.

Explanation:

There are 60 minutes in a degree and 60 seconds in a minute.

Split 0.58 into 0.50 and 0.08:-

0.50 = 30 minutes and 0.08 * 60 = 4.8 minutes

= 34 minutes and 0.8 * 60 = 48 seconds.

= 270 degrees 34' 48'.
