General Navigation USCG Question #1418 (Set 45)

What is the equivalent of 2°52' in time units?

Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation

Correct Answer: Option B — 11 min. 28 sec.

To convert arc to time, divide the arc by 15. 2 degrees equals 8 minutes (2 * 60 = 120 minutes / 15 = 8 minutes). 52 minutes of arc equals 3 minutes 28 seconds (52 / 15 = 3.466 minutes). Summing these gives 11 minutes 28 seconds, as per standard navigational conversion tables.
