Answer 1

111 moons could be lined up by row between earth and the moon.

Explanation:

Consider the provided information.

The diameter of the Moon is about 3476 kilometers.

The distance from the earth of the Moon is about 384,400 kilometers.

To find how many moons could be lined up we need to divide the distance between earth and moon by diameter of moon as shown:

`(384,400)/(3476)`

`110.59`

Now we need to round it to the nearest whole number.

Thus, round up of the number is 111.

Hence, 111 moons could be lined up by row between earth and the moon.
