Grab your problematic degrees problem. Write down the degree portion on one side of the paper. This will stay the same no matter what part you obtain at the end. Obtain the number of minutes on top of 0 the object is. If the item is located at 35 degrees AND 2 minutes write down 35* 2' . Be sure to write down a decimal point (.) to the right of the degrees portion you wrote on the one side of the paper. Divide that number of minutes you obtained by 60. Take the answer you obtained above (after dividing by 60) and write this portion of the answer to the right of the decimal point, to obtain your final answer. Be sure to mention your units, which, as the answer to this problem signifies, should be degrees, and, if this problem is a vector unit, display the direction in which the item is found at. Write down your units for the degree portion of your answer, followed by a decimal point. Include your units. If the item is located at 33 degrees 15 minutes 2 seconds, you'll need to write down 33 degrees. Write down to the right of the degrees form, the number of minutes obtained. The problem stated in the step above, is 15 minutes. So, so far this decimal answer should represent "33

degrees 15.(something) units". (See above, when the top just had minutes without seconds stated.) Obtain and divide the number of seconds the object is located at by sixty.In the example a few steps above, the object was located at 2 seconds, so divide this number by 60.take the number of seconds you obtained in the problem(2) by 60. Write down your answer to the right of the minutes portion you earlier write down. Be sure to include your units, which for this problem, should then be degrees. If this unit is a vector quantity, include the direction.
