$3.58^o=3^o34'48''$

In $D^oM'S''$ "form, one degree is equivalent to $60$ minutes and each minute is equivalent to $60$ seconds.

As such, as we have complete $3^o$ , remaining $0.58^o$ is equivalent to $0.58xx60=34.8'$

As we have fractional minutes $0.8'$ , number of seconds are $0.8xx60=48''$

and hence $3.58^o=3^o34'48''$
