Question

42.54 is the same as 42 _____' 24".

Answer 1

Answer:

$42.54\°=42\°+32'+24''$

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

$42.54\°$

Remember that

$1\ degree=60\ minutes$

$1\ minute=60\ seconds$

in this problem we have

$42.54\°=42\°+0.54\°$

Convert $0.54\°$ to minutes

$0.54\°=0.54*60=32.4'$

so

$42\°+0.54\°=42\°+32.4'=42\°+32'+0.4'$

Convert $0.4'$ to seconds

$0.4'=0.4*60=24''$

therefore

$42.54\°=42\°+32'+24''$
