Answer:
It takes Jupiter 11.87 years to complete a full orbit around the sun
Step-by-step explanation:
* Lets explain how to solve the problem
- It takes the earth 365 days to complete a full orbit around the sun
- It takes Jupiter approximately 4332 days 14 hours and 9 minutes to
complete a full orbit round the Sun
- We need to know how many years it takes Jupiter to complete a
full orbit around the sun
* Lets put the time of Jupiter by days only by change the minutes and
the hours to days
∵ 1 day = 24 hours
∵ 1 hour = 60 minutes
∴ 9 minutes = 9 ÷ 60 = 0.15 hours
∵ There are 14 hours
∴ 14 + 0.15 = 14.15 hours
∵ 1 day = 24 hours
∴ 14.15 hours = 14.15 ÷ 24 = 283/480 days
∵ There are 4332 days
∴ 4332 + 283/480 = 4332.59 days
∴ takes Jupiter approximately 4332.59 days to complete a full
orbit round the Sun
- To find how many years divided the number above by the number
of days in one year
∵ There are 365 days in a year
∴ The number of years = 4332.59 ÷ 365 = 11.87 years
* It takes Jupiter 11.87 years to complete a full orbit around the sun
