Answer:
D. [tex]Ratio = 1.17 * 10^2[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
The diameters of Sun and Venus where
[tex]Sun = 1.4 * 10^6km[/tex]
[tex]Venus = 12,000km[/tex]
Required
Ratio of the diameter of Sun to Venus
The ratio is calculated as thus;
[tex]Ratio = \frac{Sun}{Venus}[/tex]
Substitute values for Sun and Venus
[tex]Ratio = \frac{1.4 * 10^6}{12000}[/tex]
[tex]Ratio = \frac{1.4 * 1000000}{12000}[/tex]
[tex]Ratio = \frac{1400000}{12000}[/tex]
[tex]Ratio = 116.666666667[/tex]
[tex]Ratio = 117 (Approximated)[/tex]
[tex]Ratio = 1.17 * 10^2[/tex]
