Question

Venus is about 10^8 kilometers from the Sun. Saturn is about 10^9 kilometers from the Sun. About how many times farther from the Sun is Saturn than Venus?

10^72

10^17

10

1

Answer 1

Its 10 times farther because each time you add another exponent, you're multiplying by 10, and so the difference is 1 in this case. Therefore it is C--10

Answer 2

10 times farther from the Sun is Saturn than Venus.

Explanation:

Given : Venus is about
`10^8` kilometers from the Sun. Saturn is about
`10^9` kilometers from the Sun.

To find : About how many times farther from the Sun is Saturn than Venus?

Solution :

The distance from the Sun to the Venus is
`10^(8)` kilometers.

The distance from the Sun to the Saturn is
`10^(9)` kilometers.

Now, Divide the distance of Saturn with the distance of Venus from the sun to determine times farther from the Sun is Saturn than Venus,

`n=(10^9)/(10^8)`

`n=10^(9-8)`

`n=10`

Therefore,10 times farther from the Sun is Saturn than Venus.
