The distance from Venus to the sun is about 67000000miles The distance from Earth to the sun is about 2.6 * 10 ^ 7 farther. What is the distance from Earth to the sun? Write your answer in scientific notation to 1 decimal place. (1 point) Box* 10 ^ 7 miles
To find the distance from Earth to the sun, we need to add the distance from Venus to the sun to the distance from Earth to Venus.
Distance from Venus to the sun: 67,000,000 miles
Distance from Earth to Venus (given as 2.6 * 10^7 farther): 2.6 * 10^7 miles
Total distance from Earth to the sun: 67,000,000 miles + 2.6 * 10^7 miles
Adding these values together, we get:
Total distance from Earth to the sun: 67,000,000 miles + 2.6 * 10^7 miles = 89,000,000 miles
Writing this in scientific notation to 1 decimal place, we have:
8.9 * 10^7 miles
Given that the distance from Venus to the sun is about 67,000,000 miles and Earth is 2.6 * 10^7 miles farther from the sun, we can calculate the distance from Earth to the sun as follows:
67,000,000 miles + 2.6 * 10^7 miles
To add these two distances, we can convert 67,000,000 miles to scientific notation:
67,000,000 miles = 6.7 * 10^7 miles
Now we can add the distances:
6.7 * 10^7 miles + 2.6 * 10^7 miles = (6.7 + 2.6) * 10^7 miles = 9.3 * 10^7 miles
Therefore, the distance from Earth to the sun is approximately 9.3 * 10^7 miles.
To find the distance from Earth to the sun, we need to take the distance from Venus to the sun (67,000,000 miles) and add it to the additional distance mentioned (2.6 * 10^7 miles).
First, let's add these distances together:
67,000,000 miles + 2.6 * 10^7 miles = 67,000,000 miles + 26,000,000 miles
Now, let's simplify the sum:
67,000,000 miles + 26,000,000 miles = 93,000,000 miles
So, the distance from Earth to the sun is 93,000,000 miles.
Now, let's write this answer in scientific notation to 1 decimal place:
93,000,000 miles = 9.3 * 10^7 miles
Hence, the distance from Earth to the sun is 9.3 * 10^7 miles in scientific notation to 1 decimal place.
