All right, in 29, we want to convert 211 degrees, 46 minutes, and 48 seconds into just degrees.
00:11
So we just want to convert out of the minutes and seconds.
00:15
And we do so by just using these little formulas there on the right.
00:19
Very simple to do.
00:21
Okay.
00:22
So we already know that our answer is going to be 211 point something degrees.
00:29
Degrees.
00:31
So we know what our answers might look like.
00:33
We just got to figure out what that point something is.
00:36
And so it's just two simple conversions.
00:39
Each minute is one -sixtieth of a degree, right? so if i have 46 minutes, that's equivalent to 46 -60th of a degree.
00:51
And similarly, since one second is 160th of a minute, which is in turn 160th of a degree, that tells us that one second, is 1 .3600th of a degree.
01:04
And since we have 48 seconds, that's equivalent to 48 -36 -hundredths of a degree.
01:14
And yes, those fractions are reducible, and if you want to take the time and do it, great.
01:19
But we're converting this all to decimal...
