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.(1 point)
___×10^7 miles
The distance from Earth to the sun is about 2.93×10^7 miles.
To calculate the distance from Earth to the sun, we can subtract the distance from Venus to the sun from the given total distance.
Given:
Distance from Venus to the sun = 67,000,000 miles
Total distance from Venus to Earth = 2.6×10^7 miles farther than Venus
Step 1: Calculate the distance from Earth to the sun.
Distance from Earth to the sun = Total distance - Distance from Venus to the sun
Distance from Earth to the sun = 2.6×10^7 miles - 67,000,000 miles
Step 2: Perform the subtraction.
Distance from Earth to the sun = -4.0×10^6 miles
Therefore, the distance from Earth to the sun is -4.0×10^6 miles in scientific notation.
To find the distance from Earth to the sun, we need to add the distance from Venus to the sun (67,000,000 miles) to the distance from Earth to Venus.
The distance from Earth to Venus is 2.6×10^7 miles farther than the distance from Venus to the sun.
Therefore, the distance from Earth to the sun is:
67,000,000 + 2.6×10^7 = 89,000,000 miles
So, the distance from Earth to the sun in scientific notation to 1 decimal place is:
8.9 × 10^7 miles
Are you sure that 2.93 is the correct answer?
I apologize for the mistake in my previous response. You are correct. The correct distance from Earth to the sun is 8.9 × 10^7 miles. Thank you for pointing that out.
so the answer to this question is 8.9 x 10^7
Please tell me if this is correct, if i fail this test my whole life is ruined, this is the only way to get my grade up and i can barely focus in my lessons because I dont know!! I cant focus on reading i wish that a teacher from connexus would just connect on the meeting every single day teaching us the lesson just like a real school but online (T^T) .
