PLSS HELP!!

The diameter of the sun is about 1,391,000 kilometers, and the diameter of Venus is about 12,100 kilometers. About how many times larger is the diameter of the sun than the diameter of Venus?

A.
1.15 × 10^2
B.
1.4 × 10^7
C.
1.4 × 10^6
D.
1.15 × 10^3

Answer 1

A. 1.15 x
`10^(2)`

Explanation:

We can find out how many times larger is the diameter of the sun than the diameter of Venus by dividing the diameter of the sun by the diameter of Venus, and so we get...

1391000 / 12100 ≅ 115

115 is equal to 1.15 x
`10^(2)`, therefore the right answer is A.
