Question

Kyler noticed that there were seven microscopic sea creatures lined up end to end. If each creature was 3.9 x 10 cm long, how long was the chain?
If the planet Neptune is 2.794 x 10 miles from the sun and the planet Earth is 9.3 x 10' miles from the sun, how many times farther away from the sun is Neptune than Earth?

Answer 1

Answer: 273 cm, 300

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

The length of each sea creature is $3.9\times 10\ cm$

for 7 microscopic creature, it is

$\Rightarrow 7\times 3.9\times 10\\\Rightarrow 273\ cm$

The distance of Neptune from the sun is $2.794\times 10^9\ \text{miles}$

and the earth is $9.3\times 10^7\ \text{miles}$ from the sun

Comparison of neptune and earth distance

$=\dfrac{2.794\times 10^9}{9.3\times 10^7}\\\\=0.300\times 10^2\\=300.4$

Neptune is 300 times farher away form the sun than earth
