Hello, hemidol!

 $\text{Convert }\frac{6\pi}{5}$ $\text{radians to degrees.}$

$\text{Recall that: }\:\pi\text{ radians} \:=\:180\text{ degrees.}$

$\text{Replace }\pi\,\text{radians with }180^o$

[color=beige]. . [/color]$\frac{6}{5}\,\!\overbrace{\pi\:\text{radians}} \;=\;\frac{6}{5}(180^o) \;=\; 216^o$
