Question

The average distance from the sun to Jupiter is 778 million km. The distance is 550 million km greater than the average distance from the sun to mars. Write and solve an equation to find the average distance that mars is from the sun (in millions of km)

Answer 1

Answer:

778-550=228

Jupiter's average is 778km away from the sun and Mars is 550 less kilometers away from the sun than Jupiter. So you just subtract 778 to 550 which equals to 228. Therefore the average distance Mars is 228km away from the Sun
