Answer 1

Answer:

10 times farther from the Sun is Saturn than Venus.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Venus is about $10^8$ kilometers from the Sun. Saturn is about $10^9$ kilometers from the Sun.

To find : About how many times farther from the Sun is Saturn than Venus?

Solution :          

The distance from the Sun to the Venus is $10^{8}$ kilometers.

The distance from the Sun to the Saturn is $10^{9}$ kilometers.

Now, Divide the distance of Saturn with the distance of Venus from the sun to determine times farther from the Sun is Saturn than Venus,

$n=\frac{10^9}{10^8}$

$n=10^{9-8}$

$n=10$

Therefore,10 times farther from the Sun is Saturn than Venus.

Answer 2

Its 10 times farther because each time you add another exponent, you're multiplying by 10, and so the difference is 1 in this case. Therefore it is C--10
