Convert 12° 15' 45" into decimal degrees.

What will be an ideal response?


      1. Convert minutes into degrees by dividing by 6' (60' = 1°).
15 ÷ 60 = .25º
2. Convert seconds into degrees by dividing seconds by 3600 (3600" = 1°).
            45"  ÷ 3600 = .01°
3. Add whole degrees plus decimal degrees.
12° + 25° + .01° = 12.26°
therefore, 12° 15' 45" = 12.26° decimal degrees.
