Here we will explain, calculate, and show you what fraction of a circle 49 degrees is. More specifically, if you draw two lines from the center of a circle, creating 49 degrees, what will the area between the lines be as a fraction of the whole circle?
A full turn on a circle is 360 degrees. Therefore, to calculate what fraction of a circle any number of degrees is, you can simply put the number of degrees over 360.
When we put 49 over 360 and simplify if necessary, we get the answer to "What fraction of a circle is 49 degrees?" as follows:
degrees/360 = fraction
49/360 = 49/360
49 degrees = 49/360
Below is an illustration showing you what 49 degrees and 49/360 of a circle looks like.
To create the illustration above showing you 49 degrees, we first drew a circle and then drew two lines from the center, separated by 49 degrees. The slice that the two lines create inside the circle is 49/360 of the circle.
