6.247

Explanation:

Answer 2

Option A. 6.247°

Explanation:

we know that

1°=60'

1'=60"

we have

6° 14' 48"

Convert to decimal form

Convert seconds to minutes

48"=48/60=0.8'

so

6° 14' 48"=6° + 14' +0.8'=6° 14.8'

Convert minutes to degrees

14.8'=14.8/60=0.247°

so

6° 14.8' =6° + 0.247°=6.247°
