I'm not going to calculate it for you, but I'll tell you how. There are 360° in a circle, and also 24 hours, so multiply the RA in degrees by 24/360 to convert it to hours. The declination stays in degrees. Once you've got RA in hours and Dec in degrees, multiply the stuff to the right of the decimal by 60 to convert to minutes and arcminutes respecively.
