Which of the following is an example of converting from decimal degrees to DMS format?

Converting from decimal degrees to Degrees, Minutes, and Seconds (DMS) format involves taking the decimal degree value and breaking it down into three components: degrees (the whole number part), minutes (the next two decimal places converted), and seconds (the remaining decimal fraction converted).

In the provided example of converting 76.456778° to DMS format, the process works as follows:

1. The whole number is the degrees, which is 76.

2. The decimal part (0.456778) is multiplied by 60 to convert it into minutes. This results in approximately 27.40668 minutes.

3. The whole number part of the minutes is 27, and the remaining decimal (0.40668) is then multiplied by 60 to convert it into seconds, yielding approximately 34.4008 seconds.

Combining all three components, 76.456778° converts to 76°27′34.4008″ N. This confirms that the answer is indeed correct as it accurately illustrates the conversion from decimal degrees to DMS format.

The other options provided represent either conversions to decimal degrees or different formats altogether, which do not align with the specified task of converting decimal degrees to DMS format
