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]
