    Answer: 729

    Explanation:

    Mass of Jupiter / mass of earth = 318

    Velocity of Jupiter / velocity of earth = 13.1 / 29.8 = 0.440

    Orbital radius of Jupiter / orbital radius of earth = 5.21

    Angular momentum is given by;

    Am = mass * velocity * radius = mvr

    Therefore,

    Aj/Ae = 318*0.44*5.21 = 728.98

    Approximately = 729

    Goodluck
