Question

How do you change 76 degrees 22' 45'' into a fraction (Keep as a fraction)

Answer 1

22' means 22 minutes
45" means 45 seconds

Answer 2

60 minutes = 1 degree

1 minute = 1/60 degree

22 minutes = 22/60 degree

-------------------------------------------------------

60 seconds = 1 minute

60*60 seconds = 60*1 minute

3600 seconds = 60 minutes

3600 seconds = 1 degree

1 second = 1/3600 degree

45*1 second = 45*1/3600 degree

45 seconds = 45/3600 degree

Answer 3

so this all means that

76 degrees 22' 45''

turns into

76 degrees + 22/60 degree + 45/3600 degree
