We have no choice but to assume the same measurements
of time are the same on Planet A as on earth.
100 earth years is 1200 earth months.
So 1200 earth months = 1 month on planet A
1 month = 30 days, so divides both sides by 30.
That means 1 day on planet A is the same as
1200/30 = 40 earth months = 40/12 earth years = 10/3 earth years = 3 and 1/3 earth years = 3 years and 4 months.
Since 40 earth years = 1 day on planet A, we next divide both sides by 24, since 1 day = 24 hours.
40/24 = 5/3 earth years = 1 hour on planet A.
That is 1 and 2/3 earth years = 1 hour on planet A
So 1 year and 8 months = 1 hour on planet A.
Finally, since 1 hour = 60 minutes,
5/3 earth years = 1 hour as calculated above in bold
Dividing both sides by 60,
5/3 x 1/60 earth years = 1 minute on planet A
5/180 earth years = 1 minute on planet A.
Thats 5/180 x 12 = 60/180 = 1/3 earth year = 4 months
So 1 minute on planet A is 4 months on earth
