Choose two of the distances of planets from the sun and divide them. Show your work.
Let's choose two distances of planets from the sun:
1. Earth's distance from the sun: 92.96 million miles.
2. Neptune's distance from the sun: 2.7 billion miles.
To divide these two distances, we can use the formula:
Distance ratio = Distance of Planet 2 / Distance of Planet 1
Distance ratio = 2.7 billion miles / 92.96 million miles
Now let's calculate the distance ratio:
Distance ratio ≈ 29.04
So, the distance ratio between Neptune and Earth is approximately 29.04.
Sure! Let's choose two distances: the average distance of Earth from the Sun (also known as 1 astronomical unit or 1 AU) and the average distance of Mars from the Sun.
The average distance of Earth from the Sun is approximately 93 million miles or 150 million kilometers.
The average distance of Mars from the Sun is approximately 142 million miles or 228 million kilometers.
To divide these two distances, we can use the formula:
Distance of Mars from the Sun / Distance of Earth from the Sun
Using the values we mentioned:
(142 million miles) / (93 million miles) ≈ 1.526
So the result of dividing the distance of Mars from the Sun by the distance of Earth from the Sun is approximately 1.526.
In summary:
Distance of Mars from the Sun ÷ Distance of Earth from the Sun ≈ 1.526
Sure! Let's choose two distances of planets from the sun:
1. Let's take the distance of Earth from the sun, which is approximately 93 million miles (93,000,000 miles).
2. And let's choose the distance of Mars from the sun, which is approximately 142 million miles (142,000,000 miles).
To divide these two distances, we'll use the formula:
Distance of Earth from the sun / Distance of Mars from the sun = Quotient
Substituting in the values:
93,000,000 miles / 142,000,000 miles = Quotient
Calculating the quotient:
Quotient = 0.6549 (rounded to 4 decimal places)
So, dividing the distance of Earth from the sun by the distance of Mars from the sun gives us approximately 0.6549.
