Question

Change 270.58 degrees to degrees, minutes, and seconds.

Answer 1

There are 60 minutes in a degree, and 60 seconds in a minute.

The way to convert to DMS is first leave the D alone, so you have 270°
Now focus on .58, as i said there are 60 minutes in a degree, so do 58/100 * 60 to get 34.8

So far you have 270° 34.8'
But you want seconds...

.8 minutes = 8/10 * 60 = 48 seconds.

So you have 270° 34' 48"
