The distance from Venus to the sun is about 67,000,000 miles. The distance from Earth to the sun is about 2.6x10^7 farther. What is the distance from Earth to the sun? Write your answer in scientific notation to 1 decimal place.
To find the distance from Earth to the sun, we can use the given information that the distance from Venus to the sun is about 67,000,000 miles and that the distance from Earth to the sun is about 2.6x10^7 miles farther.
Let's start by calculating the distance from Venus to the sun. The given distance is 67,000,000 miles.
Next, let's find the total distance from Earth to the sun by adding the distance from Venus to the sun to the additional distance of 2.6x10^7 miles:
67,000,000 miles + 2.6x10^7 miles = 89,000,000 miles
Therefore, the distance from Earth to the sun is approximately 89,000,000 miles.
Now, we can express this result in scientific notation to 1 decimal place.
Convert 89,000,000 to scientific notation:
89,000,000 = 8.9x10^7
So, the distance from Earth to the sun is approximately 8.9x10^7 miles in scientific notation to 1 decimal place.
To find the distance from Earth to the sun, we need to add 2.6x10^7 to the distance from Venus to the sun.
Therefore, the distance from Earth to the sun is approximately 2.6x10^7 + 6.7x10^7 = 9.3x10^7 miles.
Written in scientific notation to 1 decimal place, the distance from Earth to the sun is approximately 9.3x10^7 miles.
To find the distance from Earth to the sun, we need to add the distance between Venus and the sun to the distance between Earth and Venus.
Given:
Distance from Venus to the sun = 67,000,000 miles
Distance from Earth to the sun = Distance from Venus to the sun + Distance from Earth to Venus
Distance from Earth to Venus = 2.6x10^7 miles (given)
Substituting the given values, we get:
Distance from Earth to the sun = (67,000,000 + 2.6x10^7) miles
Adding the numbers in standard form, we get:
Distance from Earth to the sun = 67,000,000 + 26,000,000 miles
Simplifying, we get:
Distance from Earth to the sun = 93,000,000 miles
Converting to scientific notation with 1 decimal place, the distance from Earth to the sun is:
Distance from Earth to the sun = 9.3x10^7 miles
