Question

24° 59 60 is equivalent to degrees.

Explanation:

Step1: Convert seconds to minutes

Since \(1' = 60''\), then \(60''=\frac{60}{60}' = 1'\). So \(24^{\circ}59'60''=24^{\circ}(59 + 1)'\).

Step2: Convert minutes to degrees

Since \(1^{\circ}=60'\), then \(60'=\frac{60}{60}^{\circ}=1^{\circ}\). So \(24^{\circ}60'=(24 + 1)^{\circ}\).

Answer:

\(25\)
