Question

The equatorial diameter of Jupiter is about 89,000 mi. This is about 11.23 times the equatorial diameter of earth. What is the equatorial diameter of earth? Round the nearest integer

Answer 1

The equatorial diameter of the earth is 7925 mi.

Solution:

Given, The equatorial diameter of Jupiter is about 89,000 mi.  

This is about 11.23 times the equatorial diameter of earth.  

We have to find what is the equatorial diameter of earth? Round the nearest integer

Now, according to given information,

Equatorial Diameter of Jupiter = 11.23 $\times$ equatorial diameter of earth

$\text { Then, equatorial diameter of earth }=\frac{\text { diameter of iupiter }}{11.23}$

$\begin{array}{l}{\text { equatorial diameter of earth }=\frac{89000 \mathrm{mi}}{11.23}} \\\\ {\text { equatorial diameter of earth }=7925.2003 \mathrm{mi}}\end{array}$

Hence, the equatorial diameter of the earth is 7925 mi.
