Question

55.27 degrees is the same as 55 degrees ____ feet 12 inches

Answer 1

16

Explanation:

The given degree is 55.27°.

We need to convert 55.27° in degrees, feet and inches.

`55.27^(\circ)=55^(\circ)+0.27^(\circ)`

We know that

1 hour = 60 minutes

1 minute = 60 seconds

Number of minutes in 0.27° is

`0.27* 60=16.2`

Now, convert 0.2 minutes in seconds.

`0.2* 60=12`

55.27° is equal to 55° 16 minutes and 12 second.

55.27° = 55° 16' 12''

Therefore, 55.27 degrees is the same as 55° 16' 12''.
