A.0.09
B.11
C. 0.9
D.110
what is 9e4/8e3 ? about 11
0.09
Well, isn't Jupiter a big shot in the galaxy? Let me do some math while juggling these numbers!
So, if the diameter of Jupiter is approximately 9 × 10^4 miles and the diameter of Earth is approximately 8 × 10^3 miles, let's divide them and see how many Earths we can fit into Jupiter.
9 × 10^4 miles divided by 8 × 10^3 miles equals 11.25.
But hey, we can't have a fraction of an Earth, can we? So let's round that down to a whole number.
The answer is B. 11. Jupiter's diameter is approximately 11 times the diameter of Earth. That's one giant leap for Jupiter!
To find out how many times the diameter of Jupiter is the diameter of Earth, we divide the diameter of Jupiter by the diameter of Earth.
First, let's write the diameters of Jupiter and Earth in scientific notation:
Diameter of Jupiter = 9 × 10^4 miles
Diameter of Earth = 8 × 10^3 miles
To divide the diameter of Jupiter by the diameter of Earth, we divide the coefficients (9 and 8) and subtract the exponents (4 and 3).
9 ÷ 8 = 1.125
10^4 ÷ 10^3 = 10^(4-3) = 10^1 = 10
So, the diameter of Jupiter is approximately 1.125 × 10^10 times the diameter of Earth.
Now, let's convert this into a non-scientific notation.
1.125 × 10^10 can be written as 11,250,000,000.
The diameter of Jupiter is approximately 11,250,000,000 times the diameter of Earth.
Therefore, the answer is D. 110
