Given the length of equators for 4 planets

What are possible estimates for the lengths of the equators of Jupiter and Earth?

As shown:

The length of the equator of the earth = 40,030 km

The length of the equator of Jupiter = 439,264 km

We will divide the length of the equator of Jupiter by Earth:


(439,264)/(40,030)=10.97

By rounding to the nearest whole number

So, the answer will be:

So, the Jupiter equator is 11 times the equator of Earth
