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.
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 / Earth's radius = (4.3441×10^4 miles) / (3,959 miles)
To divide these quantities, we need to divide the numerical parts and subtract the exponents.
(4.3441×10^4 miles) / (3,959 miles) = 4.3441 / 3.959 × 10^4/10^0
Simplifying the fractions gives us:
= (4.3441 / 3.959) × 10^(4-0)
= 1.095 × 10^4
Therefore, Jupiter's radius is approximately 1.095 × 10^4 times bigger than Earth's radius.

Apologies for the mistake. Let's calculate again.
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 / Earth's radius = (4.3441×10^4 miles) / (3,959 miles)
To divide these quantities, we need to divide the numerical parts and subtract the exponents.
(4.3441×10^4 miles) / (3,959 miles) = 4.3441 / 3.959 × 10^(4-3,959)
Simplifying the fractions gives us:
= 1.096 × 10^(4 - 3,959)
Now, let's subtract the exponents:
= 1.096 × 10^(-3,955)
Therefore, Jupiter's radius is approximately 1.096 × 10^(-3,955) times bigger than Earth's radius.
To find out how much bigger Jupiter's radius is compared to Earth's, we need to calculate the ratio of their radii.
Jupiter's radius: 4.3441x10^4 miles
Earth's radius: 3,959 miles
The ratio can be found by dividing Jupiter's radius by Earth's radius:
Ratio = Jupiter's radius / Earth's radius
Ratio = (4.3441x10^4 miles) / (3,959 miles)
To divide these two values, we need to simplify the expression by canceling out the units (miles):
Ratio = (4.3441x10^4) / (3,959)
Calculating the ratio, we get:
Ratio ≈ 10.968
Therefore, Jupiter's radius is approximately 10.968 times bigger than Earth's radius.
In scientific notation, this can be expressed as:
Ratio ≈ 1.0968 x 10^1

To find how much bigger Jupiter's radius is compared to Earth's, we need to calculate the ratio of Jupiter's radius to Earth's radius.
Jupiter's radius: 4.3441×10^4 miles
Earth's radius: 3,959 miles
To express both radii in the same units, we can convert 4.3441×10^4 miles into miles:
4.3441×10^4 miles = 43,441 miles (since 10^4 = 10,000)
Now we can calculate the ratio:
Jupiter's radius / Earth's radius = 43,441 miles / 3,959 miles = 10.9707
Hence, Jupiter's radius is approximately 10.9707 times bigger than Earth's radius.
