How many minutes are in 22 1/2 degrees if one degree equals 60 minutes?

1,200 min
1,350 min
1,440 min
1,600 min

The correct answer is: 1,350 min

To determine the number of minutes in 22 1/2 degrees, one must first understand that each degree is divided into 60 minutes. Therefore, to calculate the total minutes in a certain number of degrees, you multiply the number of degrees by 60. First, convert the fractional degree into a decimal. 22 1/2 degrees can be expressed as 22.5 degrees. Now, multiply 22.5 by 60 to convert degrees into minutes: 22.5 degrees × 60 minutes/degree = 1,350 minutes. This calculation shows that 22 1/2 degrees equals 1,350 minutes, confirming that this is the correct total minute measurement.
