Set up a ratio for this problem:

.25 in/50 miles = 2.5 in/x

.25x = 125

then divide by .25

The actual distance is: 500 miles

If you need to, you can write and solve an equation for the factor you seek.

... 6×10^10 = factor × 2×10^-3

Divide by 2×10^-3 to find the value of the factor:

... (6×10^10)/(2×10^-3) = factor

... factor = (6/2)×10^(10-(-3))

... factor = 3×10^13

The first number is 3×10^13 times the second number.

_____

An exponent signifies repeated multiplication.

... 10×10×10 = 10³

Just as you cancel common factors when you do division, you can subtract exponents.

\dfrac{10\cdot 10\cdot 10}{10\cdot 10}=\dfrac{10}{1}=10\\\\\dfrac{10^3}{10^2}=10^{3-2}=10^1=10

The same process works regardless of the signs of the exponents. When multiplying, we add exponents; when dividing we subtract the exponent of the denominator.

Answer: 1:10,000

Step-by-step explanation:

given data:

distance of the nearest star system = 100,000,000

distance to size ration of the sun earth system = 10,000

therefore;

100,000,000 / 10,000

= 10,000

The order of magnitude of the distance to size ratio of the Sun- Nearest Star system is about 1:10,000 times that of the Sun-Earth system.
