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.
