Question

On a scale where the Sun is about the size of a grapefruit and Earth is about 15 meters away, how far away are the nearest stars besides the Sun?

Answer 1

About the distance across the United States or 3800 km (23612 miles)

Explanation:

`(x15.10^9)/(3.8.10^16)\\\\`
`=(15)/(x)`

`15x=(57.10^16)/(10^9)`

`x=(57.10^7)/(15)`

x=3.8.
`10^7`
