e. Choose two of the distances of planets from the sun and divide them. Show your work
Let's choose the distances of Earth from the sun and Mars from the sun.
- Distance of Earth from the sun: approximately 93 million miles (148 million kilometers)
- Distance of Mars from the sun: approximately 141 million miles (225 million kilometers)
To find the ratio, we divide the distance of Mars from the sun by the distance of Earth from the sun:
Ratio = (Distance of Mars from the sun) / (Distance of Earth from the sun)
Ratio = 141 million miles / 93 million miles
Ratio ≈ 1.516
Thus, the ratio of the distances of Mars from the sun and Earth from the sun is approximately 1.516.
Sure! Let's choose two random distances of planets from the sun. Let's say we choose the average distance of Earth from the sun, which is approximately 93 million miles, and the average distance of Jupiter from the sun, which is approximately 484 million miles.
To calculate the division, we divide the distance of Jupiter from the sun by the distance of Earth from the sun:
484 million miles / 93 million miles
Now we can simplify the division:
484 / 93 = 5.2043
So, if we round to four decimal places, the result of dividing the distance of Jupiter from the sun by the distance of Earth from the sun is approximately 5.2043.
To answer this question, we need to know the distances of two planets from the sun. Let's say we choose Earth and Mars as our two planets.
The average distance of Earth from the sun is approximately 93 million miles (or about 150 million kilometers).
The average distance of Mars from the sun is approximately 142 million miles (or about 228 million kilometers).
Now, to find the ratio between these two distances, we simply divide the distance of Mars by the distance of Earth:
142 million miles / 93 million miles = 1.53
Therefore, the ratio of the distance of Mars from the sun to the distance of Earth from the sun is approximately 1.53.
