8. The distance from Earth to the Sun is approximately 9 x 10^7 miles. The distance from Earth to the Moon is approximately 2x10^5 miles. Approximately how many times the distance from the Earth to the Moon is the distance from Earth to the Sun?
A. 450
B. 222
C. 45
D. 18​

Respuesta :

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

To find how many times the distance, we divide the distance to the sun by the distance to the moon.

we get:

(9 * 10^7) / (2 * 10^5)

First, lets isolate and simplify the powers of 10.

(9 /2) * (10^7/10^5)

(9/2) * (10^2)=(9/2) * 100

Solve

9/2*100=4.5*100=450
