Converting Arc to Time

What is the equivalent of 1° 53' in time units?

Given:

Arc = 1° 53'  (Also equivalent to 1.88333 degrees)

What is asked:

Time units

Solution:

The earth rotates 15 degrees per hour.

1.88333° ×  1 hr  = 0.12555 hr ×  60 min  = 7.533 min
                  15°                              1 hr       -7              
                                                                  0.533 min × 60 sec  = 32 sec
                                                                                       1 min 
So 1° 53' is equal to 7 min 32 sec.
