See explanation below

Step-by-step explanation:

1) 149,600,000 km to scientific notation:

we count the number of movement from the last number to the first number

The number of movement = 8


\begin{gathered} \text{scientific notation = 1.4}9600000*10^{number\text{ of movement}} \\ =\text{ 1.496 }*10^8\operatorname{km} \end{gathered}

93,000,000 miles to scientific notation:

number of movement = 7


\begin{gathered} \text{scientific notation = }9.3000000*10^{number\text{ of movement}} \\ =\text{ 9.3}*10^7\text{miles} \end{gathered}
