Answer and explanation
Correct answer: 60'
In angular measurement, one degree is divided into 60 equal parts, and each part is called one minute. Therefore, \(1^\circ=60'\). Since \(30'\) equals half a degree, it is not correct. Exam tip: remember \(1^\circ=60'\) and \(1'=60''\) for degree-minute-second conversions.
