Question

The average distance between Jupiter and the sun is 7.8 X 108 kilometers, and the average distance between the sun and Neptune is 4.51 X 109 kilometers. What is the approximate difference between these average distances? 3.0 X 108 km 3.4 X 109 km 3.7 X 109 km 4.0 X 1010 km

Answer 1

Answer:

C. $3.7 \times 10^9$

Step-by-step explanation:

The average distance between Jupiter and the sun is $7.8 \times 10^8$ or $0.78 \times 10^9$  kilometers,

The average distance between the sun and Neptune is $4.51 \times 10^9$  

The approximate difference between these average distances is:

$4.51 \times 10^9 - 0.78 \times 10^9$

$(4.51 - 0.78) \times 10^9$

$3.73 \times 10^9$
