Question

Convert 17.47° to degrees, minutes, and seconds.

Answer 1

so 17 degrees stays the same

now let's see the float, or decimal part only
0.47

keep in mind that there are 60 minutes per degree, so in 1 degree, it'll be 1 x 60
in 0.47 degrees, it'll be 0.47 x 60

Answer 2

well i got it to be either 17°28'18" or 17°28'12" right?

Answer 3

and that will give you the minutes
if the value gives you a decimal still, it means it has seconds
and you do the same

grab the decimal part only, multiply by 60
because there are also 60 seconds per minute
