Answers
Answer:
Each degree is split up into 60 parts, each part being 1/60 of a degree. These parts are called minutes. Each minute is split up into 60 parts, each part being 1/60 of a minute.
Step-by-step explanation:
Each degree is divided into 60 equal parts called minutes. So seven and a half degrees can be called 7 degrees and 30 minutes, written 7° 30'. Each minute is further divided into 60 equal parts called seconds, and, for instance, 2 degrees 5 minutes 30 seconds is written 2° 5' 30".
1 '= 60 ''=> 1 ''= 1/60 ' So, together 1 ''= 1/60 * 1/60 degrees = 1/3600''. Here are some examples which will illustrate the process of converting degrees into minutes, minutes into degrees, seconds into degrees etc. ...
45.3 0= 45 + 0.3 0 We have 1 '= 60 '' ...
25012' = 250+12' We have 1 '= 1/60 0
Example: Convert decimal degrees 156.742 to degrees minutes seconds
The whole number is degrees. ...
Multiply the remaining decimal by 60. ...

The book states that to be more precise, a degree is divided up into sixty equal parts called minutes, and that each minute is divided into sixty equal parts called seconds. This makes sense since we already know that there are sixty seconds in a minute.
