The distance from Venus to the sun is about 67,000,000 miles. The distance from Earth to the sun is about 2.6×10^7 farther. What is the distance from Earth to the sun? Write your answer in scientific notation to 1 decimal place.
To find the distance from Earth to the sun, we need to add the additional distance of 2.6×10^7 miles to the distance from Venus to the sun.
67,000,000 miles + 2.6×10^7 miles = 8.9×10^7 miles
Therefore, the distance from Earth to the sun is approximately 8.9×10^7 miles.
To find the distance from Earth to the sun, you need to add the distance from Venus to the sun to the distance from Earth to Venus.
Given that the distance from Venus to the sun is about 67,000,000 miles, you can write this as:
67,000,000 miles
And the distance from Earth to Venus is about 2.6 × 10^7 miles farther. To add this distance, you can use scientific notation.
So, the total distance from Earth to the sun can be calculated as follows:
67,000,000 miles + 2.6 × 10^7 miles = 67,000,000 miles + 26,000,000 miles.
Adding these values gives us:
67,000,000 + 26,000,000 = 93,000,000 miles.
Now, we can express this distance in scientific notation to 1 decimal place. The number 93,000,000 can be written as:
9.3 × 10^7 miles.
Therefore, the distance from Earth to the sun is approximately 9.3 × 10^7 miles.
To find the distance from Earth to the sun, we can subtract the distance from Venus to the sun from the given distance.
Distance from Earth to the sun = Distance from Venus to the sun + Earth's additional distance
Given that the distance from Venus to the sun is about 67,000,000 miles, we need to add that to the additional distance, which is given as 2.6×10^7 miles.
Adding these two values together:
Distance from Earth to the sun = 67,000,000 miles + 2.6×10^7 miles
Next, we can add these values in scientific notation:
Distance from Earth to the sun = (6.7×10^7 miles) + (2.6×10^7 miles)
To simplify, we add the values in front of the powers of 10:
Distance from Earth to the sun = 6.7 + 2.6 × 10^(7−7) miles
Simplifying further:
Distance from Earth to the sun = 9.3 × 10^7 miles
Therefore, the distance from Earth to the sun is approximately 9.3 × 10^7 miles, written in scientific notation to 1 decimal place.
