mathstudent55 · Answer

1 degree = 60 minutes
1 minute = 60 seconds
12.25 degrees = 12 degrees + 0.25 degrees
0.25 degrees * 60 minutes/degree = 15 minutes
12.25 degrees = 12 degrees 15 minutes 0 seconds

132.45°

mathstudent55 · Answer

Same idea:
132.45 degrees = 132 degrees + 0.45 degree
0.45 degree * 60 minutes/degree = 27 minutes
132.45 degrees = 132 degrees 27 minutes 0 seconds
