Converting to minutes and seconds
When converting from minutes to seconds you:
1- take the numbers before the decimal, which is the degrees part of he answer
2- multiply the numbers after the decimal by 60
3- take the numbers before the decimal after you multiply, which gives you the minutes part of your answer
4- multiply the numbers after the decimal from the previous number by 60
5- take th numbers before the decimal, if there is one, which is the seconds part of your answer
Example 1- Convert 11.31 to degrees, secondnds, and minutes.
11 degrees
31*60=678 minutes
6*60=360 seconds
11 degrees, 678 minutes, 360 seconds
Example 2- Convert 6.12 to degrees, secondnds, and minutes.
6 degrees
12*60=720
There is no decimal, so there is no seconds in this answer.
6 degrees, 720 minutes
Example 3- Convert 34.19 to degrees, secondnds, and minutes.
34 degrees
19*60=1140 minutes
There is no decimal, so there is no seconds in this answer.
34 degrees, 1140 minutes
