Final answer:

The number of minutes in one week on Jupiter is 4.1685 × 10³ when expressed in scientific notation. This is calculated by first converting the duration of a day on Jupiter into minutes and then multiplying by the number of days in a week.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question asks how many minutes are in one week on the planet Jupiter, where a day is equivalent to 9.925 hours on Earth. To calculate this, we need to follow several steps. First, we convert Jupiter's day into minutes: 9.925 hours × 60 minutes per hour = 595.5 minutes. One week on Jupiter would then be 7 Jupiter days: 595.5 minutes per day × 7 = 4168.5 minutes. Finally, we express this answer in scientific notation. 4168.5 can be written as 4.1685 × 10³ minutes, where the exponent denotes that the decimal has been moved three places to the left.
