Question

the approximate average distances from the sun to saturn and jupiter are listed below: saturn: 1.43 × 10^9 kilometers jupiter: 7.78 × 10^8 kilometers how much farther from the sun is saturn? express your answer using scientific notation. answer attempt 1 out of 2 answer: ×10 kilometers

Explanation:

Step1: Make the exponents the same

We rewrite $1.43\times 10^{9}$ as $14.3\times 10^{8}$.

Step2: Subtract the two numbers

$(14.3\times 10^{8})-(7.78\times 10^{8})=(14.3 - 7.78)\times10^{8}$.
$14.3-7.78 = 6.52$. So the result is $6.52\times 10^{8}$ kilometers.

Answer:

$6.52\times 10^{8}$
