Question

A newly discovered solar system is found 150 billion kilometers from the sun. How many AU does this represent? Show your work.

Answer 1

AU stands for Astronomical Unit. It is 150 million kilometers.  Therefore, 150 billion kilometers would be 1,000 AU.

Answer 2

Answer:-
`1,000` AU

Step-to-step-explanation:-

Given: A newly discovered solar system is found 150 billion kilometers from the sun.

It is known that 1 billion= 1000 millions

Then 150 billion= 150,000 millions

We know that 1 AU = 150 million kilometers

Then 1 million kilometers=
`(1)/(150)` AU

⇒ 150,000 million kilometers=
`150,000*(1)/(150)` AU

⇒ 150,000 million kilometers=
`1,000` AU

Hence, A newly discovered solar system is found
`1,000` AU from the sun.
