Hi
Since there are 60 minutes in a degree, to convert minutes to decimal
degrees, divide the minutes value by 60 and add it to the degrees.
An example:
24 degrees 15 minutes would be 24 plus 15/60 equals 24.250 degrees.
Another example:
24 degrees 15.525 minutes would be 24 plus 15.525/60 equals 24.25875
degrees.
Hope this helps.
