Answer» Saturn and Jupiter take 9 hours 56 minutes and 10 hours 40 minutes, respectively for one spin on their axes. The ratio of the time taken by Saturn and Jupiter in lowest form is 149: 160. From the question, Saturn takes 9 hours 56 minutes for one spin on their axes We know that, 1 hour = 60 minutes So, (9 × 60) + 56 = 540 + 56 = 596 minutes Jupiter takes 10 hours 40 minutes for one spin on their axes = (10 × 60) + 40 = 600 + 40 = 640 minutes The ratio of the time taken by Saturn and Jupiter in lowest form is = 596/640 Divide both numerator and denominator by 2, = 298/320 Again, divide both numerator and denominator by 2, = 149/160 Therefore, the ratio of the time taken by Saturn and Jupiter in lowest form is 149: 160. |
