Convert to degress 43 25'
1 degree = 60' (minutes).
Divide number of minutes by 60.
To convert the given measurement from minutes and seconds to degrees, follow these steps:
Step 1: Convert minutes to decimal degrees.
Since there are 60 minutes in one degree, you can divide the given minutes (25) by 60 to get the decimal value.
25 / 60 = 0.4167
Step 2: Convert seconds to decimal degrees.
Similarly, since there are 60 seconds in one minute, you divide the given seconds (0') by 60 to get the decimal value.
0 / 60 = 0
Step 3: Add the decimal values from step 1 and step 2 to the original degrees (43).
43 + 0.4167 + 0 = 43.4167
Therefore, the measurement 43° 25' is equivalent to 43.4167 degrees when converted to decimal degrees.
