Answer:
The answer to your question is:
a) sun to jupiter = 4.838 x 10 ⁸ miles
sun to earth = 9.296 x 10 ⁷ miles
b) 5.2 times
Step-by-step explanation:
distance sun to jupiter = 483 800 000 miles
distance sun to earth = 92 960 000 miles
a)
sun to jupiter = 4.838 x 10 ⁸ miles just move the decimal point eight places to the left.
sun to earth = 9.296 x 10 ⁷ miles just move the decimal point seven places to the left.
b)
divide distance sun to jupiter by distance sun to earth =
= 4.838 x 10 ⁸ / 9.296 x 10 ⁷
First divide 4.838 by 9.296 or 4.838 / 9.296 = 0.52
Then we substract the powers: 8 minus 7 or 8 -7 = 1
So we get 0.52 x 10¹ or 0.52 x 10 = 5.2 times
