Question

Planet x is 23 of a light-year away from Earth. Planet Y is 13 of a light-year away from Earth. How much farther away is Planet X?

Answer 1

Planet X is 1.77 times further from Earth than Planet Y.

Explanation:

Given that Planet X is 23 of a light-year away from Earth, while Planet Y is 13 of a light-year away from Earth, to determine how much farther away is Planet X the following calculation must be performed:

13 = 1

23 = X

23/13 = X

1.769 = X

Therefore, Planet X is 1.77 times further from Earth than Planet Y.
