Question

The mass of Venus is

4.87 x 10^24 kilograms, and the mass of Jupiter is
1,898 x 10^24 kilograms.

The mass of Jupiter is about _____ times the mass of Venus.

Answer 1

The mass of Jupiter is about 389.7331 times the mass of Venus.

Explanation:

The question is asking for how much the two masses vary from one another. Since the mass of Jupiter is greater than that of Venus, what value is to be multiplied by the mass of Venus that would give the mass of Jupiter?

Thus, to determine this, we divide the mass of Jupiter by the mass of Venus;

=
`(1898*10^(24) )/(4.87*10^(24) )`

=
`(1898)/(4.87)`

= 389.7331

Therefore, the mass of Jupiter is about 389.7331 times the mass of Venus.

Answer 2

Mass Jupiter / mass of venus = 1898 * 10^24 / 4.87 * 10^24 = 1898 / 4.87 = 390 times heavier. I hope that comma is correct.
