59 arc minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Given measurement,

1.98 degrees

We can write,

1.98 degrees = 1 degree + 0.98 degree

Now, the number of arc minutes in 1 degree = 60,

So, the number of arc minutes in 0.98 degree

= 0.98 × arc minutes in 1 degree

= 0.98 × 60

= 58.8

≈ 59.

Hence, 1.98 degrees is equal to 1 degree and 59 arc minutes.
