Question 151214
It looks like the answer is correct (I haven't looked over the problem completely). So to convert 53.13° into degrees minutes and seconds, simply take the decimal portion 0.13 and multiply it by 60 to get {{{0.13(60)=7.8}}}. So there are about 7 minutes in 0.13 degrees. Now take the decimal portion 0.8 and multiply it by 60 to get {{{0.8(60)=48}}}. So there are 48 seconds in 0.8 minutes. 



So 53.13° is the same as 53 degrees 7 minutes 48 seconds. So the answer is C.
