What is the equivalent of 8 min. 56 sec. in arc units?

Correct Answer: Option C — 2°14'

To convert time to arc, multiply the time by 15. 8 minutes equals 2 degrees (8 * 15 = 120 arc minutes = 2 degrees). 56 seconds equals 14 arc minutes (56 / 4 = 14). Adding these results yields 2 degrees 14 minutes, the standard conversion method found in Bowditch.
