converting numbers to degree

$\begingroup$

I have 0 to 1 that represent 0 to 360 degrees I know that 0.5 would represent 180 degrees but what formula would I use to get the other vales for 0 to 1.

Thanks

$1\Rightarrow360\deg$

$x\Rightarrow y\ \deg$

Thus, for $x\in[0;1]$, $y\deg=\frac{x\times 360\deg}{1}$

As for converting from $y$ $\deg$s to $x\in[0;1]$,

$x=\frac{y\deg\times1}{360\deg}$

All of this can be seen directly, but I simplified as much as possible, using the old "arrows" method of proportionality. (Not sure what we used to call it.)

Just use the simple formula

$$ \mbox{Original Degree} \div 360$$

As you said 180 is 0.5, you got this since $180 \div 360=0.5$

For example 90 degress is $90 \div 360=0.25$
