Question 1069823: 1) While Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin walked the Moon, the Apollo 11 command module completed 1 orbit every 119 minutes. Write an equation for the time in hours, h, required to complete n orbits. (Hint: Remember there are 60 minutes in an hour. How many hours are there in a 119 minutes?)
60n/119 = h
119n/60 = h
119n = h
7140n = h

2) The Apollo 11 module made 30 orbits. Use the equation you wrote in the previous question to find the number of hours it orbited the Moon. Round your answer to the nearest tenth of an hour.
Answer by Boreal(15235) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
119 minutes is 1.98333 hours.
Therefore, 1.98333 hours per orbit, which is the second one from the top.
for n orbits, the time is 1.983333 hours
Therefore, for 30 orbits, 1.983333 hours/orbit has units of hours and time is 59.5 hours.
