TC is 245° and variation is 7°W. What is MC?
Answer
252°
Explanation
For west variation, add the variation when converting true to magnetic: 245° + 7° = **252°**. This follows the conventional mnemonic “east is least, west is best” for true-to-magnetic conversion. **Key takeaway:** TC 245° with 7°W gives MC 252°. **Glossary:** Variation: angle between true and magnetic north.
