The average distance between the Sun and

Felipe Levi Gurgel

I approached differently

I converted 2.3 x 10 ^14 to: 230 x 10^12. I changed the other to 39 x 10^3.

Than, I approach 230/39 is close to 240/40 which is 6. Than the answer would be 5.9.

Tha 10^12 - 10^3 = 10^9.

This resulted in 6 x 10^9. Which is closest to 5.9 x 10^9.

What I thought, when dividing the number, I was getting a number as (2.3/3.9) * 10 ^10

2.3/3.9 seems to be point something, so if we have multiply that by 10 it will be something point something, mostly a (single digit.single digit)

And offsetting that 10 multiplication I get 10^9 as the multiplier from 10^10. Only one answer with 10^9 i.e. b

I approached this a little differently and wanted to make sure it is acceptable.

I converted 2.3 x 10 ^14 to: 24 x 10^13. I changed the other to 4 x 10^4.

This resulted in 6 x 10^9. Which is closest to 5.9 x 10^9.
