The distance from Venus to the sun is about 67,000,000 miles. The distance from Earth to the sun is about 2.6 × 107 farther. What is the distance from Earth to the sun? Write your answer in scientific notation to 1 decimal place. (1 point)

To find the distance from Earth to the sun, you need to add the distance from Venus to the sun (67,000,000 miles) to the additional distance (2.6 × 10^7 miles).

First, convert the distance from Venus to the sun into scientific notation:
67,000,000 miles = 6.7 × 10^7 miles.

Now, you can calculate the distance from Earth to the sun:
Distance from Venus to sun + Additional distance from Venus to Earth

\[
= (6.7 × 10^7) + (2.6 × 10^7)
\]

Now, add these together:
\[
= (6.7 + 2.6) × 10^7
\]
\[
= 9.3 × 10^7 \text{ miles}
\]

Therefore, the distance from Earth to the sun is **9.3 × 10^7 miles**.
