Question

damions favorite subject in school is science. he especially enjoys learning about space and insects. complete each table by converting the given value to either scientific notation or standard form.

description	distance written in standard form	distance written in scientific notation
the average distance from earth to mars		1.572×10^8 miles
the average distance from earth to the sun	93,000,000 miles

Explanation:

Step1: Convert distance from Earth - Moon to scientific notation

Move the decimal point to get a number between 1 and 10. 238900 miles can be written as $2.389\times 10^{5}$ miles since we move the decimal point 5 places to the left.

Step2: Convert distance from Earth - Sun to standard form

For $93000000$ miles, it is already in standard form.

Step3: Convert distance from Earth - Mars to standard form

Given $1.572\times 10^{8}$ miles, we move the decimal point 8 places to the right. So it is 157200000 miles.

Answer:

Description	Distance Written in Standard Form	Distance Written in Scientific Notation
The average distance from Earth to Mars	157200000 miles	$1.572\times 10^{8}$ miles
The average distance from Earth to the Sun	93000000 miles	$9.3\times 10^{7}$ miles
