Question

The distance between the Sun and Mars is 141,700,000 miles or

228,000,000 km. Express this distance in the standard form (in miles as

well as in km).​

Answer 1

Given,

The distance between the Sun and Mars in miles = 141700000 miles

The distance between Sun and Mars in kilometres = 228,000,000 km

To find,

The standard form of the previously mentioned values of the distance between Sun and Mars.

Solution,

We can easily solve this mathematical problem by using the following mathematical process.

Standard form general rule = a × 10

Standard form of the given distance in miles unit = 141700000 miles = 1.417 × 10⁸ miles

Standard form of the given distance in kilometres unit = 228,000,000 km = 2.28 × 10⁷ kilometres

Hence, the standard forms are (1.417 × 10⁸ miles) and (2.28 × 10⁷ kilometres).
