Answer 1

1744.5 hours, you multiply 72 times 24 (72 days, 24 hours in a day) and add the 300 minutes (.5)

Answer 2

So, we have the amount of time for Planet Hulu for 1 day, but we need to convert into hours. Each day is 24 hours and it takes planet hulu 72 days to do 1 rotation. Time for the math!

Multiplication: 72*24=1728

Now, we have our time of 1728 hours and 30 minutes. But wait! 30 minutes is half of an hour, so we can add a .5 to the end of our number and get our final answer:

Answer: 1728.5 hours for one full day to go by on Planet Hulu.
