URGENT!! ILL GIVE BRAINLIEST! 100 POINTS
Mercury 5.8 x 10 ^ 7 km from the sun. Neptune is 4.5 x 10^10 km from the sun. How much further is Neptune from the sun than Mercury?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

a

Multiply the distances: (5.8 x 10^7) x (4.5 x 10^10) = (5.8 x 4.5) x (10^17) = 26.1 x 10^17 = 2.61 x 10^16

b

Divide the distances: (4.5 x 10^10) / (5.8 x 10^7) = .76 x 10^3 = 7.6 x 10^2

c

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

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) - (.0058 x 10^10) = 44.99 x 10^10 km

Answer 2

b subtract Neptune from mercury to find the difference between them
