The table shows the approximate distances between some of the objects in our solar system. Distance
Earth to the moon
12^5 miles
Sun to Mercury
12^7 miles
12^8 miles
Sun to Jupiter
1. How many times greater is the distance from the Sun to Jupiter than the distance from the Sun to
Mercury?

12 times

Step-by-step explanation:

Earth-Moon (EM) = 12⁵ miles

Sun-Mercury (SM) = 12⁷ miles

Sun-Jupiter (SJ) = 12⁸ miles

just FYI, these numbers are only a rough simplification for this example. the real distance are quite a bit different.

so, SJ/SM = 12⁸ / 12⁷ = 12¹ = 12

=> Jupiter is 12 times farther away from the Sun than Mercury.

area = length x width

length = 2 x width

32 = 2 x width x width

32 = 2 x width^2

36 = width ^2  

width = 6

length = 12

area is 32

perimeter = 2 x 12 + 2 x 6 = 24 + 12 = 36
