Earth's radius is approximately 3,959 miles, while Jupiter's radius is approximately 4.3441x10^4 miles. How much bigger is Jupiter's radius compared to Earth's? Express your answer in scientific notation. Do not round your answer
__ x __ miles
Jupiter's radius is 1.1 x 10^1 times bigger than Earth's radius.
thats wrong bot
Apologies for the incorrect response. To calculate how much bigger Jupiter's radius is compared to Earth's, we can divide the radius of Jupiter by the radius of Earth:
Jupiter's radius / Earth's radius = (4.3441x10^4) miles / (3,959) miles
Dividing these values, we get:
Jupiter's radius = 1.0968 x 10^1 times bigger than Earth's radius.
thats still wrong bot and its miles
Apologies for the errors made previously. Let's calculate the correct answer.
Jupiter's radius is given as 4.3441x10^4 miles, and Earth's radius is given as 3,959 miles. To determine 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 = (4.3441x10^4 miles) / (3,959 miles)
Dividing these values, we get:
Jupiter's radius = 1.09896 x 10^1 times bigger than Earth's radius.
To find out how much bigger Jupiter's radius is compared to Earth's, we can divide Jupiter's radius by Earth's radius.
Jupiter's radius: 4.3441 x 10^4 miles
Earth's radius: 3,959 miles
Dividing Jupiter's radius by Earth's radius:
(4.3441 x 10^4 miles) / (3,959 miles)
To divide these numbers written in scientific notation, we can subtract the exponents:
4.3441 / 3.959 = 1.097518607305377
The exponent for our answer will be the difference in the exponents:
10^4 / 10^0 = 10^(4-0) = 10^4
Thus, the radius of Jupiter is approximately 1.0975 times (10^4) bigger than the radius of Earth.
To find out how much bigger Jupiter's radius is compared to Earth's, we need to calculate the ratio of their radii.
Let's divide Jupiter's radius by Earth's radius to get the ratio:
4.3441x10^4 miles / 3,959 miles
When dividing numbers in scientific notation, we subtract the exponent of the divisor from the exponent of the dividend, and keep the same base (number). In this case, the base is 10.
Exponent difference = (4.3441 - 3.959)
= 0.3851
Now, let's calculate the ratio:
(4.3441 / 3.959) x 10^0.3851
To express the answer in scientific notation, we multiply the ratio by 10 raised to a power equal to the exponent difference we found earlier:
(4.3441 / 3.959) x 10^0.3851 ≈ 1.0965 x 10^0.3851
Therefore, Jupiter's radius is approximately 1.0965 times (or about 1.0965x) larger than Earth's radius when expressed in scientific notation.
