    Start with a proportion, to get the number of degrees in 30 seconds:

    (150 degrees / 5 seconds) = ('D' degrees / 30 seconds).

    Cross multiply the proportion: (150 x 30) = 5 x D

    4,500 = 5 x D

    Divide each side by 5 : 900 = D

    The globe turns 900 degrees in 30 seconds.

    How many rotations is that?

    Each rotation is 360 degrees.

    So 900 degrees is

    (900 / 360) = 2.5 rotations in 30 seconds.
