Given:

The International Space Station takes 644 minutes to orbit Earth 7 times.

To find:

The time taken by each orbit.

Solution:

Total time = 644 minutes

Total number of orbits =7

Now,


\text{Time taken be each orbit}=\frac{\text{Total time}}{\text{Number of orbits}}


\text{Time taken be each orbit}=(644)/(7)


\text{Time taken be each orbit}=92

So, the required time is 92 minutes.

Therefore, you are correct and all options are incorrect.
