Mercury is 5.8x10^7km from the sun. Neptune is 4.5x10^10km from the sun. How much further is Neptune from the sun than Mercury?
A. Add the distance together
B. Multiply the distances
C. Divide the distances
D. Subtract the distances by getting the same power of 10
B. Multiply the distances
\(4.5x10^{10}km - 5.8x10^{7}km = 4.5x10^{10}km - 0.58x10^{10}km = 4.42x10^{10}km\)
Neptune is approximately 44 times further from the sun than Mercury.
