(a) It takes the Earth 365 days to complete a full orbit around the sun. It takes Jupiter approximately 4,332 days, 14 h, and 9 min to complete a full orbit around the sun. How many years does it take Jupiter to complete a full orbit around the sun?

1 year = 365 days.

1 day = 24 hours.

1 hour = 60 minutes.

First convert the hours and minutes in Jupiter orbit to days:

14*60 = 840 +9 = 849 minutes.

849 / 60 = 14.15 hours.

14.15 / 24 = 0.59 days.

Jupiter's orbit is 4332.59 days.

Now divide that by 365 for the number of years:

4332.59 / 365 = 11.87 years.
