earth's radium approximately 3,959 miles while jupiter's radius is approximately 4.3441 x 10^4 miles.how much bigger is jupiter's radius compared to earth's express your answer in scientific notation
To find out how much bigger Jupiter's radius is compared to Earth's, we need to divide Jupiter's radius by Earth's radius.
Jupiter's radius: 4.3441 x 10^4 miles
Earth's radius: 3,959 miles
We can express Earth's radius in scientific notation as 3.959 x 10^3 miles.
Now, let's divide Jupiter's radius by Earth's radius:
(4.3441 x 10^4) / (3.959 x 10^3)
Since we are dividing numbers in scientific notation, we can divide the coefficients and subtract the exponents:
4.3441 / 3.959 = 1.097
(10^4) / (10^3) = 10^(4-3) = 10^1
So, Jupiter's radius is approximately 1.097 x 10^1 times bigger than Earth's radius.
