    The earth makes a full rotation in 24 hours. Jupiter takes approximately 58 days, 15 h, and 30 min to complete a full rotation. How many hours does it take Jupiter to complete a full rotation? Show your work using the correct conversion factors.

    Convert 58 days, 15 h, and 30 min to hours.
    1. Type 58 days into the search engine to get 1,392 hours.
    2. Add 15 hours to get 1,392 + 15 = 2,007 hours
    3. Now convert the 30 min to hours. Type 30 minutes into the search engine to get 0.5 hours
    4. Add up (1), (2), and (3) to get 1,392 + 15 + 0.5 = 2007.5 hours for a full rotation.
