Answer 1

7.94 x 10⁸miles

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Distance of earth from sun = 9.3 x 10⁷miles

Distance of earth from Saturn = 8.87 x 10⁸miles

Unknown:

How much further from the sun is Saturn than Earth = ?

Solution:

To find the solution to this problem, let us find the difference between their distances:

( 8.87 x 10⁸ miles - 9.3 x 10⁷ miles )

= 88.7 x 10⁷ miles - 9.3 x 10⁷ miles

= (88.7 - 9.3) x 10⁷miles

= 79.4 x 10⁷miles

= 7.94 x 10⁸miles
