The solution is $44°0\text{'}36\text{'}\text{'}$

Step1. Given information

$44.01°$

Step2. Formula used

$1°=60\text{'} and 1\text{'}=60\text{'}\text{'}$

Step3. Calculation

We have

$$\begin{gathered} 44.01° \\ =44°+.01° \\ =44°+(.01)(60\text{'}) \\ =44°+0.6\text{'} \\ =44°+0\text{'}+0.6\text{'} \\ =44°+0\text{'}+\left(0.6\right)\left(60\text{'}\text{'}\right) \\ =44°+0\text{'}+36\text{'}\text{'} \\ =44°0\text{'}36\text{'}\text{'} \end{gathered}$$
