What is the equivalent of 2° 35' in time units?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) 10 min. 20 sec.
To convert 2° 35' from degrees and minutes into time units, we can use the following formula:
1 degree = 4 minutes
1 minute = 60 seconds
Therefore, 2° 35' can be converted to:
2 degrees x 4 minutes/degree = 8 minutes
35 minutes
Adding the two together, we get 8 minutes + 35 minutes = 43 minutes.
Converting the remaining 43 minutes to seconds, we get 43 minutes x 60 seconds/minute = 2,580 seconds.
Simplifying this to minutes and seconds, we get 10 minutes and 20 seconds, which is the correct answer D.
The other options are incorrect because they do not accurately represent the conversion of 2° 35' into time units.
