Question 330480: Jim is making a diagram of the solar system. If he draws Neptune, which is 2795 million miles from the sun, 10 inches from the sun on his paper, how far away ( to the nearest tenth of an inch) from the sun should he draw Mars, which is 142 million miles from the sun? Answer by nyc_function(2741) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Let M = distance of Mars from the Sun
2795/142 = 10 inches/M
Can you solve for M?
If not, write back.
