C 1000 times farther
Explanation: If the distance to the moon is 4 x, and the distance to Venus is 4 x, the distance from Earth to Venus is 4 x - 4 x = 3 x, or 3 times farther than the distance to the moon. Since 3 x is 1000 times bigger than x, Venus is 1000 times farther from Earth than the moon.
The approximate distance of the moon from Earth is 4 x
km and the average approximate distance from the Earth to Venus is 4 x
km. How much farther is Venus from Earth than the moon?
