Mercury's average distance from the sun is 57,910,000 km. The Earth is approximately 93,000,000 miles from the sun

What would be the distance of a trip from Mercury to Earth, via the Sun. Look out for the units!!! (1 km =(0.62mi)

Use Scientific Notation to solve this question.

Via the sun? Add the two average distances.

hey i need help please and thank you.

To find the distance of a trip from Mercury to Earth, we need to add the distance from Mercury to the Sun and the distance from the Sun to Earth.

- First, let's convert the Earth's distance from the sun from miles to kilometers. Given that 1 km = 0.62 miles, we can multiply the Earth's distance by 0.62 to convert it to kilometers.

93,000,000 miles * 0.62 km/mile = 57,660,000 km

- Now we add the distance from Mercury to the Sun (given as 57,910,000 km) to the distance from the Sun to Earth (converted to km as 57,660,000 km):

57,910,000 km + 57,660,000 km = 115,570,000 km

So, the distance of a trip from Mercury to Earth, via the Sun, is approximately 115,570,000 km.
