How da'fak do you convert from degrees and minutes into decimal degrees on a calculator?

Got an example where you're given an angle of 75°32' and I can't figure out how to put convert it into decimal. Yes, I could do it by multiplying but there must be a simple function on a calculator.

I'm using Casio fx-85ES and I'm hoping someone else uses a similar model.

Pic related.

I've isolated 2 functions that might be what I'm looking for and I tried playing with them, to no avail.

Second column, third row. (if you ignore the blue row)

Below the addition sign (+), DRG▼

That's a real constructive argument, bud. Real tough.

Still, thanks.

Which only displays degrees, but not the minutes and seconds.

75 degrees, 32 minutes, 0 seconds

Divide by 60 and put past decimal. Divide seconds by 3600 (60 * 60)

75.53

Google next time.

Never mind, I guess the same symbol functions as degree, minute, and second.

Thanks for the help.

also, I know how to do it manually.

But why bother when a single press of a button spares me 30 seconds of work.

it takes you 30 seconds to do that?
