To use a calculator to work out degrees and minutes, follow these steps:

1. Turn on your calculator and make sure it is in degree mode. Most calculators have a "DEG" or "degree" button that you can press to switch to degree mode.

2. Enter the degrees value you want to work with. For example, if you want to work with 45 degrees, simply enter "45" on the calculator.

3. Now, you need to convert the minutes into degrees. Since 1 degree equals 60 minutes, divide the minutes value by 60. For example, if you want to work with 30 minutes, divide 30 by 60 to get 0.5 degrees.

4. Add the degrees and minutes together to get the final result. In this example, add 45 degrees and 0.5 degrees to get 45.5 degrees.

So, using a calculator, you can convert degrees and minutes into a decimal representation.
