Algebra.Com's Answer #69035 by stanbon(75887)![]() ![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! Earth's mean distance from the sun is 9.3 x 10 exponent 7 miles. This distance is called the astronomical unit (AU). Jupiter is 5.2 AU from the sun. Find the distance in miles from Jupiter to the sun. \n" ); document.write( "------------------ \n" ); document.write( "Jupiter distance - sun distance = 5.2AU-1AU = 4.2AU \n" ); document.write( "= 4.2(9.3x10^7) \n" ); document.write( "= 3.906x10^8 miles \n" ); document.write( "============= \n" ); document.write( "Cheers, \n" ); document.write( "Stan H. \n" ); document.write( " |
