Answer:
31 times bigger is the distance from earth to the sun than the distance from earth to the moon.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given : The distance from the earth to the sun is 9.3×10 to the 6(power) miles. The distance from earth the moon is 3×10 to the 5th(power) miles.
To find : How many times bigger is the distance from earth to the sun than the distance from earth to the moon?
Solution :
The distance from the earth to the sun is [tex]9.3\times 10^{6}[/tex] miles.
The distance from the earth to the moon is [tex]3\times 10^{5}[/tex] miles.
To know, times bigger is the distance from earth to the sun than the distance from earth to the moon is given by,
[tex]n=\frac{9.3\times 10^{6}}{3\times 10^{5}}[/tex]
[tex]n=3.1\times 10^{6-5}[/tex]
[tex]n=3.1\times 10[/tex]
[tex]n=31[/tex]
Therefore, 31 times bigger is the distance from earth to the sun than the distance from earth to the moon.
