This is not a scientific answer (corrections welcome) but based on the location of the Asteroid belt, the length of the Martian year and the length of the Jovian year, I would surmise that it takes the asteroid belt about 7earth years to orbit the sun. But don't quote me!

What does an asteroid orbit around?

The asteroid belt is a doughnut-shaped concentration of asteroids orbiting the Sun between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter, closer to the orbit of Mars. Most asteroids orbit from between 186 million to 370 million miles (300 million to 600 million km or 2 to 4 AU) from the Sun. The asteroids in the asteroid belt have a slightly elliptical orbit. The time for one revolution around the Sun varies from about three to six Earth years.
