Earth’s radius is approximately 3,959 miles, while Jupiter’s radius is approximately 4.3441×104 miles. How much bigger is Jupiter’s radius compared to Earth’s? Express your answer in scientific notation. Do not round your answe
i know this is so annoying for them to all be wrong
To find out how much bigger Jupiter's radius is compared to Earth's, we need to calculate the ratio of their radii. Here's how you can do it:
1. Divide Jupiter's radius by Earth's radius:
Jupiter's radius / Earth's radius = 4.3441×10^4 miles / 3,959 miles
2. Simplify the division:
Jupiter's radius / Earth's radius ≈ (4.3441×10^4) / (3.959)
3. Calculate the result:
Jupiter's radius / Earth's radius ≈ 10978.85
Therefore, Jupiter's radius is approximately 10978.85 times bigger than Earth's radius.
how are all yall wrong???
second half is 10^4. still dont know the other half.
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.(1 point)
are you sure?
To find out how much bigger Jupiter's radius is compared to Earth's, we need to calculate the ratio of their radii.
The ratio can be found by dividing Jupiter's radius by Earth's radius:
Ratio = Jupiter's radius / Earth's radius
Plugging in the given values:
Ratio = 4.3441×104 miles / 3,959 miles
Next, we can simplify this ratio.
To simplify, we can divide both the numerator and denominator by 3,959:
Ratio = (4.3441×104 miles) / (3,959 miles)
Ratio = (4.3441×104 miles) / (1 miles) ≈ 1.0971×104
Therefore, Jupiter's radius is approximately 1.0971×104 times bigger than Earth's radius.
To find the difference in radius between Jupiter and Earth, we subtract Earth's radius from Jupiter's radius:
4.3441×10^4 miles - 3,959 miles = 4.3441×10^4 miles - 3.959×10^3 miles.
Since the exponents are already the same, we can ignore them for now and focus on the significant figure:
4.3441 - 3.959 = 0.3851.
Now, adjusting the exponents, we have:
0.3851 × 10^4 miles.
Therefore, Jupiter's radius is 0.3851 × 10^4 miles bigger than Earth's radius.
