Convert the following arc values to decimal degrees

Question

Convert the following arc values to decimal degrees:

25. 24° 15’              

26. 8° 30’

Answer 1

In problem 25, since there are 60 minutes in a degree, then 15' is the same as 15/60 degrees or 0.25 degrees. You already have 24 degrees, so 24° 15' is 24.25°

You can do problem 26 the same way.
