Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To convert degrees to minutes and seconds, we need to multiply the decimal part by 60 for minutes and take the decimal part of the product as seconds.

0.1645° x 60 = 9.87'

Since we need to round to the nearest second, we have to look at the third decimal place of the product, which is 4. Since 4 < 5, we round down and get:

9' 52"
