Star A is about 3.4 X 10^18 miles from Earth. Star B is 6.8 X 10^16 miles from Earth. Star A is how many times as far from Earth as Star B?

Answer 1

Answer:

Concept: Numerical Analysis

1. Star A is 3.4 ×10 ^18
2. Star B is 6.8 × 10^16
3. Hence we want how much farther Star A is from Star B.
4. Hence Star A/Star B = 50 times farther

Answer 2

Answer:

1/50 as far

Step-by-step explanation:

6.8 x 10$^{16}$ ÷ 3.4 x 10$^{18}$

Rules state that you divide numbers and subtract exponents

6.8/3.4 = 2

10$^{16}$ ÷ 10$^{18}$ = $10^{-2}$

whenever exponent is negative, it gets turned into a fraction with 1 as the numerator and the exponent will become positive when placed in the denominator

10^-2 = 1/10^2 which is the same as 1/100

2 multiplied by 1/100 = 1/50
