Question

The volume of Saturn is about 8.27 x 10 cubic kilometers. The volume of Earth is about 1.09 x 102 cubic kilometers. The number of Earths that can fit

inside Saturn can be found by dividing Saturn's volume by Earth's volume. Find this quotient and express the answer in scientific notation.
A: 9.01 x 10^26
B: 75.9 x 10^1
C:759
D:7.59x10^2

Answer 1

Option D:
`7.59*10^(2)`

Explanation:

we know that

The volume of Saturn is about
`8.27*10^(14)\ km^(3)`

The volume of Earth is about
`1.09*10^(12)\ km^(3)`

Dividing Saturn's volume by Earth's volume

`(8.27*10^(14))/(1.09*10^(12)) =((8.27)/(1.09))*10^(14-12) =7.59*10^(2)`
