Algebra.Com's Answer #735350 by Alan3354(69443)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! 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. \n" ); document.write( " ------------ \n" ); document.write( " Use * (Shift 8) for multiply and ^ (Shift 6) for exponents. \n" ); document.write( " --- \n" ); document.write( " 1.49*10^11/3.84*10^8 = 0.388*10^3 --> 4*10^2 times as large \n" ); document.write( " = 400 times as large rounding after using Sci Notation \n" ); document.write( " --> 388 times as large otherwise \n" ); document.write( " It's not clear what is wanted here. \n" ); document.write( " ================ \n" ); document.write( " 388 times as large = 387 times larger \n" ); document.write( " 400 times as large = 399 times larger \n" ); document.write( " |
