The moon is about two hundred forty thousand miles distant from Earth. The Earth is about ninety-three million miles distant from Sol. About how many times farther is the Earth from Sol than the moon? Express your answer as a single-digit integer times an integer power of ten, and as a whole number. Respond in a sentence.

Sagot :

The distance between the moon and the earth is 240,000 miles

The distance from the earth to the Sol is 93,000,000 miles

To find how many times farther is Earth from Sol than the moon we will divide the two quantities above

[tex]\frac{93,000,000}{240,000}[/tex]

We will cancel 4 zeroes up with 4 zeroes down to simplify

[tex]\frac{9300}{24}[/tex]

Now let us divide up by down

[tex]\frac{9300}{24}=387.5[/tex]
