<PRE><B>Question 1102129</B>
The average distance from Jupiter to the Sun is about 5 × 10^8 miles. The average distance from Venus to the Sun is about 7 × 10^7 miles. 
The average distance from Jupiter to the Sun is about how many times as great as the average distance from Venus to the Sun? 
-----
5x10^8 = 7x10^7 (x)
-----
Solve for &quot;x&quot;::
x = (5/7)10 = 7.14  times as great
