70% to passWhat is the equivalent of 0°48' in time units?
A
2 min. 12 sec.
B
2 min. 42 sec.
C
3 min. 02 sec.
D
3 min. 12 sec.
AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) 3 min. 12 sec. To convert 0°48' (degrees and minutes) to time units, we can use the following conversion: 1 degree = 4 minutes, and 1 minute = 60 seconds. Therefore, 0°48' is equivalent to 0 degrees + 48 minutes, which is 48 minutes or 2,880 seconds. Dividing 2,880 seconds by 60 to get the minutes and seconds, we get 48 minutes = 3 minutes and 0 minutes = 0 seconds, for a total of 3 minutes and 12 seconds. The other options are incorrect because they do not accurately convert 0°48' to the equivalent time units.
