Mercury is 5.8 x 10^(7) km from the sun. Neptune is 4.5 × 10^(10)

km from the sun. How much further is Neptune from the sun than Mercury? (1 point)

A. Multiply the distances: (5.8 x 10^(7))x (4.5 x 10^(7) ) = (5.8 x 4.5) x (10^(7+10)) = 26.1 x 10^(17) = 2.61 x 10^(18)km

B. Divide the distances: (4.5x10^(10))/(5.8x10^(7)) = 0.78 x 10^(3) = 7.8 x 10^(2) km

C. Add the distances together: (5.8 x 10^(7))x (4.5 x 10^(10) ) = 10.3 x 10^(17) = 1.03 x 10^(18) km

D. Subtract the distances by getting the same same power of 10: (4.5 x 10^(10)) - (5.8 x 10^(7)) = (4.5 x 10^(10) - (0.0058 x 10^(10) = 4.49 x km

The correct answer is D. Subtract the distances by getting the same power of 10: (4.5 x 10^(10)) - (5.8 x 10^(7)) = (4.5 x 10^(10) - (0.0058 x 10^(10) = 4.49 x 10^(10) km.
