11. First, convert 0.125° into minutes and seconds.
Convert Between DMS and Decimal Degree Form
A. Write ° in DMS form.
First, convert 0.125° into minutes and seconds.
° = 329° + 1° = 60'
= 329° + 7.5' Simplify.
Next, convert 0.5' into seconds.
° = 329° + 7' + 1' = 60"
= 329° + 7' + 30" Simplify.
Therefore, ° can be written as 329°7'30".
Answer: 329°7'30"
