Question

question 18(multiple choice worth 1 points) (01.07 mc) the distance of planet jupiter from the sun is approximately 7.8 ⋅ 108 kilometers, and the distance of planet saturn from the sun is 1.5 ⋅ 109 kilometers. about how many more kilometers is the distance of saturn from the sun than the distance of jupiter from the sun? 6.3 ⋅ 101 kilometers 6.3 ⋅ 108 kilometers 7.2 ⋅ 108 kilometers 7.2 ⋅ 109 kilometers

Answer 1

The distance of Saturn from the sun is more than the distance of Jupiter from the sun by:

C. 7.2 x 10⁸ kilometers

How is the difference in distance calculated?

The difference in distance is correctly obtained by subtracting the distance from Jupiter to the sun from the distance of Saturn from the sun.

Now, the distance of Saturn from the sun is:

1.5 x 10⁹ kilometers

Also, the distance of Jupiter from the sun is:

7.8 x 10⁸ kilometers

So, we subtract the smaller figure from the bigger figure to have:

1.5 x 10⁹ kilometers ₋ 7.8 x 10⁸ kilometers

= 15 x 10⁸ kilometers - 7.8 x 10⁸ kilometers

=  7.2 x 10⁸ kilometers

So, option C is right.
