To convert -331.51° to degrees-minutes-seconds, first, note the whole number of degrees, which is -331°. Next, to find the minutes and seconds, take the decimal part (0.51) and multiply by 60, since there are 60 minutes in a degree. This gives 0.51 * 60 = 30.6 minutes. The whole number part of this is 30 minutes. To find the seconds, take the decimal part of the minutes (0.6) and multiply by 60, since there are 60 seconds in a minute. This gives 0.6 * 60 = 36 seconds. Therefore, the conversion is -331°30'36''.
