Question

the distance from mars to the sun is about 147,380,000 miles. the distance from jupiter to the sum is about 3.1469 x 10^9 farther. what is the distance from jupiter to the sun?

Answer 1

Add the two distances.

3.1469 × 10^9 miles = 3,146,900,000 miles
Mars distance = 147,380,000 miles

3,146,900,000 + 147,380,000 = 3,294,280,000 miles

So Jupiter is about 3,294,280,000 miles from the Sun (≈ 3.29428 × 10^9 miles).
