Answer:

Jupiter is about 5.6 times further from the Sun than the Earth is from the Sun.      

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information in the question:

The distance from the Earth to the Sun = 90,000,000 miles

Converting it into scientific form:

90,000,000 = 9\times 10^7\\\text{Comparing to } 9\times 10^a\\\Rightarrow a=7

The distance from Jupiter to the Sun = 500,000,000 miles

Converting it into scientific form:

500,000,000 = 5\times 10^8\\\text{Comparing to } 5\times 10^b\\\Rightarrow b=8

Distance of Jupiter from the Sun and the Earth  from the Sun =

\displaystyle\frac{\text{Distance between Jupiter and Sun}}{\text{Distance between Earth and Sun}}\\\\=\frac{5\times 10^8}{9\times 10^7} = 5.55 \appox 5.6

Hence, Jupiter is about 5.6 times further from the Sun than the Earth is from the Sun.

10*a = 10000000

a = 1000000, one million

5*10*b = 500000000

b = 10000000, ten million

About ten times.
