There are 360 degrees in a circle. How many arcminutes will be in 96% of a circle?

Answer 1

First, we find out how many degrees 96% is:

360 deg * .96 = 345.6 deg

Now, we need a conversion factor. We know that 1 deg = 60 arcminutes so:

1 deg/60 arcminute = 60 arcminute/1 degree

By using some simple dimensional analysis, we can set up and solve:

345.6 deg * (60 arcminute/1 deg) => 345.6 deg * (60 arcminute/ 1deg) = 20736 arcminutes

So we can say that 96% of 360 deg is equal to 20736 arcminutes.
