A 20 min. 16 sec.
B 23 min. 36 sec.
C 25 min. 54 sec.
D 30 min. 27 sec.
AI Explanation

The correct answer is B) 23 min. 36 sec. To convert an angle measurement in degrees, minutes, and seconds to its equivalent time units, the following formula is used: Time (in hours, minutes, seconds) = Angle (in degrees, minutes, seconds) x (24 hours / 360 degrees) Applying this formula to the given angle of 5°54': 5°54' = 5 degrees + 54 minutes = 5.9 degrees Time = 5.9 degrees x (24 hours / 360 degrees) = 0.3933 hours Converted to minutes and seconds, this equals 23 minutes and 36 seconds. The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not properly convert the 5°54' angle to its equivalent time units using the established formula.
