The average distance between Jupiter and the sun is 7.8 X 108 kilometers, and the average distance between the sun and Neptune is 4.51 X 109 kilometers. What is the approximate difference between these average distances? 3.0 X 108 km 3.4 X 109 km 3.7 X 109 km 4.0 X 1010 km

Answer:

C. [tex]3.7 \times 10^9[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The average distance between Jupiter and the sun is [tex]7.8 \times 10^8[/tex] or [tex]0.78 \times 10^9[/tex]  kilometers,

The average distance between the sun and Neptune is [tex]4.51 \times 10^9[/tex]  

The approximate difference between these average distances is:

[tex]4.51 \times 10^9 - 0.78 \times 10^9[/tex]

[tex](4.51 - 0.78) \times 10^9[/tex]

[tex]3.73 \times 10^9[/tex]
