Answer by Theo(13342) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
you start with 60.125 degrees.
keep the 60 degrees and work with the .125 degrees.
.125 degrees is equal to 60 * .125 = 7.5 minutes.
keep the 7 minutes and work with the .5 minutes.
.5 minutes is equal to 60 * .5 = 30 seconds.
add them all up together and you get:
60 degrees 7 minutes 30 seconds
the basic conversion factors required are:
minutes = 60 * degrees.
seconds = 60 * minutes.
to work your way back up and get everything back into degrees, do the following:
degrees * 1 = degrees.
minutes * 60 = degrees.
seconds * 60^2 = degrees.
working your way back from 60 degrees 7 minutes 30 seconds, you get:
60 degrees + 7/60 degrees + 30/60^2 degrees for a total of:
60.125 degrees.
