55,7425

Step-by-step explanation:

Since there are 60 minutes in one degree and 3600 seconds in one degree, the formula is:

Decimal degrees = Degrees + (Minutes/60) + (Seconds/3600)

Here Degrees stay the same 55;

44′ = 44/60 ≈ 0,733…

33″ = 33/3600  ≈ 0,009166…

I’ve divided and added those three numbers by calculator in one operation and it shows exactly 55,7425. If you add them separately, you’ll need to round the result.
