Question

Convert 32º 15’ 45” to decimal

Answer 1

`32.2625\°`

Explanation:

we know that

`1\°=60'`

`1'=60''`

we have

`32\°\ 15'\ 45''`

convert to decimal

step 1

Convert seconds to minutes

`45''=45/60=0.75'`

so

`32\°\ 15'\ 45''=32\°\ 15.75'`

step 2

convert minutes to grades

`15.75'=15.75/60=0.2625\°`

so

`32\°\ 15.75'=32.2625\°`
