------------------------------------------------ It takes one hour less than 2 days for a satellite to go around the Earth.

1. How many hours will it take for the satellite to go around the Earth 23,988 times?
2. Calculate how many days and how many weeks this will be.
3. Estimate the number of years this will be to the nearest year.

Answer :

It will take approximately 129 years for the satellite to go around the earth 23988 times.

What is Proportion?

Proportions are defined as the concept where two or more ratios are set to be equal to each other.

Suppose we have two ratio p : q and r : s. If both these ratios are proportional, then we can write it as p: q : : r : s.

This is same as p : q = r : s or p/q = r/s

We have,

Time taken for the satellite to go around the earth one time = one hour less than 2 days = 48 hours - 1 hour = 47 hours

Let the time taken for the satellite to go around the earth 23988 times is x hours.

Using the concept of proportion,

1 / 47 = 23988 / x

x = 47 × 23988

x = 1127436 hours

= 1127436 / 24 days

= 46976.5 days

= 46976.5 / 7 weeks

= 6710.93 weeks

= 6710.93 / 52.143 years

= 128.7 ≈ 129 years

Hence the number of years taken for the satellite to go around the earth is 129 years.
