Convert 17.47° to degrees, minutes, and seconds.

OpenStudy (ghazi):

one degree = 60 min and 1 min=60 secs....therefore 17.47 degrees= 17*60 mins and 0.47*60secs

17.47 degrees is 17 + 0.47 degrees if you are using minutes instead of decimal degrees, multiply the fraction by 60 0.47 degrees * 60 minutes per degree= 28.2 minutes now you have 17 degrees 28.2 minutes but you can replace fractions of a minute with seconds 0.2 minutes * 60 seconds per minute= 12 seconds so 17.47º = 17º 28' 12"
