Answer:

The distance between Earth and its moon is about [tex]238,667\ km[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

y ------> Saturn’s rings span up

x -----> the distance between the Earth and its moon

we know that

The linear equation that represent this situation is

[tex]y=\frac{3}{4}x[/tex] -----> equation A

[tex]y=179,000\ km[/tex] -----> equation B

substitute B in equation A and solve for x

[tex]179,000=\frac{3}{4}x[/tex]

Multiply by 4/3 both sides

[tex]x=179,000(\frac{4}{3})[/tex]

[tex]x=238,667\ km[/tex]
