Answer:

639.4 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

It says that Saturn approximately 10 hours, 39 minutes, and 24 seconds to complete a full rotation.

Now we need to find about how many minutes does it take Saturn to complete a full rotation.

So we need to convert 10 hours and 24 seconds into minutes using formula:

1 hour = 60 minutes

and

1 second = 1/60 minutes

Plug these values into given rotation time:

10 hours + 39 minutes + 24 seconds

= 10 (60 minutes) + 39 minutes + 24(1/60 minutes)

= 600 minutes + 39 minutes + 24/60 minutes

= 600 minutes + 39 minutes + 0.4 minutes

= 639.4 minutes

Hence final answer is 639.4 minutes.
