What is the equivalent of 4°36' in time units?
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.
