Mercury is 5.8 x 10^7 km from the sun. Neptune is 4.5 x 10^10 km from the sun. How much further is Neptune from the sun than Mercury?

a
Multiply the distances: (5.8 x 10^7) x (4.5 x 10^10) = (5.8 x 4.5) x (10^17) = 26.1 x 10^17 = 2.61 x 10^16
b
Divide the distances: (4.5 x 10^10) / (5.8 x 10^7) = .76 x 10^3 = 7.6 x 10^2
c
Add the distances together: (5.8 x 10^7) + (4.5 x 10^10) = 10.3 x 10^17 = 1.03 x 10^18 km
d
Subtract the distances by getting the same power of 10: (4.5 x 10^10) - (5.8 x 10^7) = (4.5 x 10^10) - (.0058 x 10^10) = 44.99 x 10^10 km
