Question

the mass of Jupiter is 1.898 × 1027 kilograms, and the mass of Saturn is 5.68 × 1026 kilograms. How much greater is Jupiter's mass than Saturn's mass? A. 1.33 × 1027 kilograms B. 3.78 × 1026 kilograms C. 3.78 × 1027 kilograms D. 7.58 × 1027 kilograms E. 2.47 × 1027 kilograms

Answer 1

1.33 x 10^27 (someone probably already answered this)

Answer 2

Answer: 1.33 × 10^27 kilograms

Explanation:

To find how much greater Jupiter's mass is than Saturn's mass, we need to subtract Saturn's mass from Jupiter's mass.

Given:

Mass of Jupiter = 1.898 × 10^27 kilograms

Mass of Saturn = 5.68 × 10^26 kilograms

To find the difference, we subtract Saturn's mass from Jupiter's mass:

1.898 × 10^27 - 5.68 × 10^26

When subtracting numbers in scientific notation, we need to make sure the exponents are the same. In this case, we can rewrite 5.68 × 10^26 as 0.568 × 10^27.

Now we can subtract:

1.898 × 10^27 - 0.568 × 10^27 = 1.33 × 10^27 kilograms

Therefore, Jupiter's mass is greater than Saturn's mass by 1.33 × 10^27 kilograms.

The correct answer is A. 1.33 × 10^27 kilograms.
