0.1 AU


10 AU


100 AU


1,000 AU

Answer 1

The answer would be 10 AU

Solution:
1 AU = 149,669,180 Km.
=distance of the earth to the sun
So,
1,500,000,000 / 149,669,180 = 10.022.
AU = 10 AU.

Answer 2

One AU = 149,669,180 Km. This is the distance beteween the earth and the sun.
Therefore, we have:
1,500,000,000 / 149,669,180 = 10.022.
Thus, the distance in AU = 10 AU.
