My question is in the division 10800/1110 ?

My question is to simplify,jedishrfu said:They started with the notion that 180 degrees = ##\pi## radians
and then the equivalent notion that 10800 minutes = ##\pi## radians
and then they construct a ratio 180 deg / (18 deg 30 min) = (10800 min) / (1100 min) = 360 / 37 = ##\pi## / x radians
and then solve for x.
Simplify what?NickTesla said:My question is to simplify,
how do I simplify?

I'm trying to understand the simplification,Mark44 said:simplify what?
I do not see anywhere in its segment that is that you are trying to do.
Is the problem to convert 18 ° 30 'in minutes? Or is it to convert the measure of the angle in radians?

I don't see anywhere in your thread what it is you're trying to do.

You didn't answer my question. What are you trying to convert?NickTesla said:I'm trying to understand the simplification,
should be 30 to 10800 and 30 to 1110 ,lol
Perfect is 30Mark44 said:You didn't answer my question. What are you trying to convert?
Is your question how they went from ##\frac{10800}{1110}## to ##\frac{360}{37}##? If so, 1080 = 30 * 360, and 1110 = 30 * 37.
The formula for converting degrees to minutes in a circle is: degrees x 60 = minutes.
There are 360 degrees in a full circle, so there are 21,600 minutes in a full circle.
There are 1/60th of a degree in one minute of a circle. This is equivalent to 0.0166666667 degrees.
Degrees and minutes are both units of measurement for angles in a circle. One degree is equal to 60 minutes, and one minute is equal to 1/60th of a degree.
To convert degrees to minutes in a circle using a calculator, simply multiply the number of degrees by 60. For example, if you have 45 degrees, the calculation would be 45 x 60 = 2700 minutes.
