If a spacecraft was parked on venus and needed to make a flight to jupiter, how far would it need to travel? (assume both planets are aligned with the sun and are on the same side of the sun.) show your work and provide your answer in scientific notation.

In miles 365 million miles or 365,000,000
in km, 588 million km or 588,000,000

so
scientific notation=(number less than 10 and greater than or equal to 1) times 10^n

so
we need to move the decimal point 8 spaces to the left
to compensiate for that, we multiply by 10⁸ which will move it 8 to the right
so

365,000,000 mi=3.65 times 10⁸ mi
588,000,000 km=5.88 times 10⁸ km

those are the distances in scientific notation
