Question

On a scale where the Sun is about the size of a grapefruit and Earth is about 15 meters away, how far away are the nearest stars besides the Sun?

Answer 1

Answer:

About the distance across the United States or 3800 km (23612 miles)

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{x15.10^9}{3.8.10^16}$  $=\frac{15}{x}$

$15x=\frac{57.10^16}{10^9}$

$x=\frac{57.10^7}{15}$

x=3.8.$10^7$
