Mercury's average distance from the sun is 57,910,000 km. The Earth is approximately 93,000,000 miles from the sun. What would be the distance of a trip from Mercury to Earth, via the Sun. Look out for the units!!! (1 km = 0.62 mi) .Use Scientific Notation to solve this question.

1 answer

if 1 mile = 1/.62 km
then 93,000,000 mile = 93,000,000(1/.62) km
= 150,000,000 km

add up the two distances,
57,910,000 km + 150,000,000 km
= 207,910,000 km

change this to Scientific Notation
