A
9 min. 12 sec.
B
14 min. 36 sec.
C
15 min. 36 sec.
D
18 min. 24 sec.
AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) 18 min. 24 sec. To convert an angle in degrees, minutes, and seconds to time units, the following formula is used: Time (in hours, minutes, seconds) = Angle (in degrees, minutes, seconds) * (24 hours / 360 degrees) In this case, 4°36' converts to: 4 degrees + 36 minutes = 4.6 degrees (4.6 degrees) * (24 hours / 360 degrees) = 0.306 hours 0.306 hours = 18 minutes 24 seconds The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not properly convert the angle of 4°36' to the equivalent time value.
