Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the distance between Earth and its moons.
Saturn’s rings span up to about (7.5 × 10^-1) of the distance between the Earth and its moons. It means that Saturn’s rings span is
(7.5 × 10^-1)x
If Saturn’s rings span up to 2.82 × 10^5 kilometers, it means that
(7.5 × 10^-1)x = 2.82 × 10^5
Dividing both sides of the equation by 7.5 · 10^-1, it becomes
x = (2.82 × 10^5)/(7.5 × 10^-1)
x = 3.76 · 10^5 km
