0.95629 Degress is 57.38 Minutes Or 57 point 38 Minutes.
0.38 Minutes is 22.64 Seconds.
Am I missing something here?
I'll have another go.
47.57.21.87N 47 degrees 57 minutes and 21.8 seconds North. I think we both agree that.
It's in the form DD.MM.SS.ss
Now Lat 47.95629 N is in the form DD.ddddd
See
http://openev.sourceforge.net/app/preferences.html I'm not just making this up.
Therefore they must be two seperate roundabouts 38.5miles apart or 77km!!!!!
I think you are saying there 47.95629 - 47.57.21.87 = 38.5
But you not subtracting like from like.
Half a degree is 30 minutes.
Now we can write half as 1/2 degree, 0.5 Degrees or 30 Minutes.
So 0.5 Degrees = 60 minutes x 0.5 = 30 Minutes.
Therefore 0.95629 Degrees = 60 minutes x 0.95629 = 57.3774 Minutes
Now we have 0.3774 Minutes
So Again we have.
60 Seconds x 0.3774 = 22.64 Seconds.
So we have 47 Degrees 57 Minutes and 22.64 Seconds. So pretty close.
