A. 100 minutes
B. 95 minutes
C. 90 minutes
D. 80 minutes

Answer :

Given:

The International Space Station takes 644 minutes to orbit Earth 7 times.

To find:

The time taken by each orbit.

Solution:

Total time = 644 minutes

Total number of orbits =7

Now,

[tex]\text{Time taken be each orbit}=\dfrac{\text{Total time}}{\text{Number of orbits}}[/tex]

[tex]\text{Time taken be each orbit}=\dfrac{644}{7}[/tex]

[tex]\text{Time taken be each orbit}=92[/tex]

So, the required time is 92 minutes.

Therefore, you are correct and all options are incorrect.
