Question

13type the correct answer in each box . approximate distance from Earth to the Moon is 240,000 Miles. The approximate distance from Earth to the Sun is 93 million milesin standard notation, the approximate distance from the Sun to Earth is _____ miles greater than the approximate distance from Earth to the Moon. in scientific notation the distance is m x 10 n, where m is _____ and n is ____ .

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

First we have to divide the distance from the Sun to Earth by the distance from Earth to the Moon:

`(93,000,000)/(240,000)=387.5`

Now we have to write this in scientific notation. To do that first we have to move the decimal point so that there is only one number to the left: 3.875

The next step is multiply by 10 to the power that is the number of places we moved the decimal point. In this case we moved the decimal point two places: 3.875 x 10²

Answers:

in standard notation, the approximate distance from the Sun to Earth is 387.5 miles greater than the approximate distance from Earth to the Moon.

in scientific notation the distance is m x 10 n, where m is 3.875 and n is 2 .​
