Question 1695Navigation General

The correct answer is D) 5°50'. To convert 23 minutes and 20 seconds to arc units, we need to divide the time value by 4 (since 1 hour = 60 minutes = 240 degrees). 23 minutes and 20 seconds is equal to 23.33 minutes, which when divided by 4 equals 5.83 degrees, or approximately 5°50'. The other options are incorrect because: A) 16°40' is too large B) 12°32' is too large C) 9°28' is too large
