Space station X remained in orbit for 15 years and circled Earth 86500 times during its time in space. The longest stay of one astronaut in the station was around 330 days. Approximately how many times did this astronaut circle the Earth?
if we assume there are 365 days in a year then there are 86500/(15*365) orbits per day, so the astronaut did approximately 330*86500/(15*365) orbits.
330×86500(15×365)=5213.6986301369863014
approximately 5200 orbits (or 5210 orbits or 5214 orbits, depending on how approximate you want to be!)
