To convert 7° to degrees, minutes, and seconds, we simply need to multiply 7 by 60 to get the number of minutes, and then take the remainder after dividing by 60 as the number of seconds. Therefore, 7° = 7 × 60' = 420'. The closest answer choice that matches this is B, which gives the degrees as 218, and the minutes as 42 (since 420 is closer to 420 than to 480 or 360). Therefore, we can conclude that the answer is B.
