The distance from Earth to the sun is about 1.49*10^11 meters. The distance from Earth to the moon is about 3.84*10^8 meters. The distance from Earth to the sun is how many times larger than the distance from Earth to the moon? Use a scientific calculator and round your answer to the nearest whole number.
------------
Use * (Shift 8) for multiply and ^ (Shift 6) for exponents.
---
1.49*10^11/3.84*10^8 = 0.388*10^3 --> 4*10^2 times as large
= 400 times as large rounding after using Sci Notation
--> 388 times as large otherwise
It's not clear what is wanted here.
================
388 times as large = 387 times larger
400 times as large = 399 times larger
