149.38 degrees. How do I convert this angle to degrees, minutes, and seconds notation?

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

well, we know we have 149 degrees, so that's that now let's use the decimal part only 0.38 degrees there are 60 minutes per degree how many minutes are there in 1 degree? well, 1 * 60 how many minutes are there in 0.38 degree? well, 0.38 * 60

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

so, that gives us, 22.8 minutes so we have fully, 22 minutes, we know that much so again, let's use the decimal part 0.8 minutes there are 60 seconds per minute how many seconds are there in 1 minute? well, 1 * 60 how many seconds are there in 0.8 minute? well, 0.8 * 60
