Hi,
I can't figure out how to set up this problem.
A day on planet G lasts 10.0 hours and 39 minutes. If 37 (Earth) days have passed between two visits of a probe, how many days has it been on planet G? Give your answer to one decimal place.
I got 85.5 and it is wrong. I multiplied 37 x 24 then divided the answer by 10.39.
Then I made everything in min 639 min on G and 1440 min on Earth. Multiplied 1440 by 37 then divided by 634 and ended up with 83.4 still wrong.
