Question

80.913 degrees. what is the measurement in degrees, minutes, and seconds

Answer 1

80°54'47" is the measurement in degrees, minute and seconds

Explanation:

In the given method,

the degree is divided into 60 equal parts called minutes and the minutes are further divided into 60 equal parts called seconds

As, we know that the first entry will be 80º.

now. we have to find the number of minutes in the remaining 0.913 by dividing by
`(1)/(60)`.

i.e,
`(0.913)/((1)/(60) ) = 0.913 * 60 = 54.78`

This gives 54 minutes with 0.78 of a minute remaining.

Now, find the number of seconds in the remaining 0.78 minutes by dividing by 1/60.

i,e

`(0.78)/((1)/(60) ) = 0.78 * 60 = 46.8`

this gives 46.8 sec or 47 seconds

Therefore, 80.913 degrees measurement in degrees, minute and seconds is:

80°54'47"
