Question 1708Navigation General

The correct answer is B) 9°23'. To convert time units (minutes and seconds) to arc units (degrees and minutes), we use the following conversion: 1 hour = 360° 1 minute = 6° 1 second = 0.1° Therefore, 37 minutes and 32 seconds can be calculated as: 37 minutes = 37 * 6° = 222° 32 seconds = 32 * 0.1° = 3.2° Total = 222° + 3.2° = 225.2° Rounding this to the nearest minute gives us 9°23', which is the correct answer. The other options are incorrect because they do not accurately represent the conversion of 37 minutes and 32 seconds to arc units.
