no thats wrong
It's actually 3.9482 x 10^4
Earth’s radius is approximately 3,959 miles, while Jupiter’s radius is approximately 4.3441×10^4 miles. How much bigger is Jupiter’s radius compared to Earth’s? Express your answer in scientific notation. Do not round your answer
quick approximate check
about 4 * 10^4 / 0.4*10^4 = 40/4 = 10^1
To find out how much bigger Jupiter's radius is compared to Earth's, we need to calculate the ratio of the two radii. Let's start by dividing Jupiter's radius by Earth's radius.
Jupiter's radius = 4.3441 × 10^4 miles
Earth's radius = 3,959 miles
Ratio = Jupiter's radius / Earth's radius
Ratio = (4.3441 × 10^4 miles) / (3,959 miles)
To divide these two values, we subtract the exponents:
Ratio = (4.3441 / 3,959) × 10^(4-0) miles
Simplifying the division gives:
Ratio = 1.0977 × 10 miles.
Thus, Jupiter's radius is approximately 1.0977 times (or 1.0977x) larger than Earth's radius, expressed in scientific notation.
Your approximate check is correct.
Jupiter's radius: 4 × 10^4
Earth's radius: 0.4 × 10^4 (or 4 × 10^3, since 0.4 * 10^4 equals 4 × 10^3)
Dividing Jupiter's radius by Earth's radius:
(4 × 10^4) / (4 × 10^3) = 10^1
Therefore, Jupiter's radius is approximately 10^1 (or 1 × 10^1) times bigger than Earth's.
To find how much bigger Jupiter's radius is compared to Earth's, we need to divide Jupiter's radius by Earth's radius.
The division of Jupiter's radius by Earth's radius gives us:
4.3441×10^4 miles / 3,959 miles = 1.0973×10^1
Therefore, Jupiter's radius is approximately 1.0973×10^1 times bigger than Earth's.
Apologies for the incorrect response earlier.
To find how much bigger Jupiter's radius is compared to Earth's, we can divide Jupiter's radius by Earth's radius.
Jupiter's radius: 4.3441×10^4 miles
Earth's radius: 3,959 miles
Jupiter's radius divided by Earth's radius:
(4.3441×10^4) / (3,959)
= 1.0981×10^1
Therefore, Jupiter's radius is approximately 1.0981×10^1 times bigger than Earth's.
To find 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: 4.3441×10^4 miles
Earth's radius: 3,959 miles
Dividing Jupiter's radius by Earth's radius:
(4.3441×10^4) / (3,959) = 1.0963 × 10^1
Therefore, Jupiter's radius is approximately 1.0963 × 10^1 times bigger than Earth's.
