Just let your calculator deal with those large numbers
circumference = 2πr = ..... miles
time = distance/rate
= circumference/28108 hours
1 year = 365(24) or 8760 hours, so
number of years = circumference/8760 years
circumference = 2πr = ..... miles
time = distance/rate
= circumference/28108 hours

Reiny, you are wrong. It actually takes 11.9 years or about 4,289 Earth days for Jupiter to orbit the sun.
