earth's radium approximately 3,959 miles while jupiter's radius is approximately 4.3441 x 10^4 miles.how much bigger is jupiter's radius compared to earth's express your answer in scientific notation

Answer 1

To find out how much bigger Jupiter's radius is compared to Earth's, we need to divide Jupiter's radius by Earth's radius.

Jupiter's radius: 4.3441 x 10^4 miles
Earth's radius: 3,959 miles

We can express Earth's radius in scientific notation as 3.959 x 10^3 miles.

Now, let's divide Jupiter's radius by Earth's radius:

(4.3441 x 10^4) / (3.959 x 10^3)

Since we are dividing numbers in scientific notation, we can divide the coefficients and subtract the exponents:

4.3441 / 3.959 = 1.097

(10^4) / (10^3) = 10^(4-3) = 10^1

So, Jupiter's radius is approximately 1.097 x 10^1 times bigger than Earth's radius.
