Question

42.54 is the same as 42 _____' 24".

Answer 1

`42.54\°=42\°+32'+24''`

Explanation:

we have

`42.54\°`

Remember that

`1\ degree=60\ minutes`

`1\ minute=60\ seconds`

in this problem we have

`42.54\°=42\°+0.54\°`

Convert
`0.54\°` to minutes

`0.54\°=0.54*60=32.4'`

so

`42\°+0.54\°=42\°+32.4'=42\°+32'+0.4'`

Convert
`0.4'` to seconds

`0.4'=0.4*60=24''`

therefore

`42.54\°=42\°+32'+24''`
