Earth’s radius is approximately 3,959 miles, while Jupiter’s radius is approximately 4.3441×10^4 miles. How much bigger is Jupiter’s radius compared to Earth’s? Express your answer in scientific notation. Do not round your answer (1 POINT)
To find how much bigger Jupiter's radius is compared to Earth's, we divide Jupiter's radius by Earth's radius:
4.3441×10^4 miles / 3,959 miles
To divide these numbers, we subtract the exponents of 10 and divide the coefficients:
4.3441 / 3.959 = 1.0962
The result is 1.0962.
To express the answer in scientific notation, we multiply the result by 10 raised to the power of the difference in exponents:
1.0962 * 10^(4-0) = 1.0962 * 10^4
Therefore, Jupiter's radius is approximately 1.0962×10^4 times bigger than Earth's radius.
10^4 is correct but the first number is not
Apologies for the mistake. Let's recalculate the answer.
To find how much bigger Jupiter's radius is compared to Earth's, we divide Jupiter's radius by Earth's radius:
(4.3441×10^4 miles) / (3,959 miles)
To divide these numbers, we subtract the exponents of 10 and divide the coefficients:
4.3441 / 3.959 = 1.0973
The result is 1.0973.
To express the answer in scientific notation, we multiply the result by 10 raised to the power of the difference in exponents:
1.0973 * 10^(4-0) = 1.0973 * 10^4
Therefore, Jupiter's radius is approximately 1.0973×10^4 times bigger than Earth's radius.
once again wrong with the first number
Apologies for the repeated errors. Let's recalculate the answer correctly this time.
To find how much bigger Jupiter's radius is compared to Earth's, we divide Jupiter's radius by Earth's radius:
(4.3441×10^4 miles) / (3,959 miles)
To divide these numbers, we subtract the exponents of 10 and divide the coefficients:
4.3441 / 3.959 = 1.097
The result is 1.097.
To express the answer in scientific notation, we multiply the result by 10 raised to the power of the difference in exponents:
1.097 * 10^(4-0) = 1.097 * 10^4
Therefore, Jupiter's radius is approximately 1.097×10^4 times bigger than Earth's radius.

To divide these numbers, we subtract the exponents of 10 and divide the coefficients:
4.3441 / 3.959 = 1.0965
The result is 1.0965.
To express the answer in scientific notation, we multiply the result by 10 raised to the power of the difference in exponents:
1.0965 * 10^(4-0) = 1.0965 * 10^4
Therefore, Jupiter's radius is approximately 1.0965×10^4 times bigger than Earth's radius.
