Question
The distance from Earth to the Moon is $2.39 \times 10^{5}$ miles, whereas the distance from the Moon to Mars is $4.84 \times 10^{7}$ miles. What is the total distance from Earth to the Moon to Mars?
Step 1
We can do this by multiplying 4.84 by 10 to the power of 7 by 10 to the power of -2. This gives us $4.84 \times 10^{5}$. Show more…
