Answer
$62.6^{\circ}$
Work Step by Step
To convert $62^{\circ} 36'$ to decimal degrees, let's break it as-
$62^{\circ} 36'$ = $62^{\circ}$ + $36'$
Now on dividing $36'$ by 60, we have the number of "decimal degrees" equivalent
to $36'$ (as $ 1^{\circ} = 60'$)
Therefore
$62^{\circ} 36'$ = $62^{\circ}$ + $(\frac{36}{60})^{\circ}$
$62^{\circ} 36'$ = $62^{\circ}$ + $0.6^{\circ}$
$62^{\circ} 36'$= $62.6^{\circ}$
