Rules of Indices: The power, also known as the index, tells you how many times you have to multiply the number by itself. For example 3^4, this means that to have to do 3 x 3 x 3 x 3 which equals 81. Credit to Revision Math's for the information
Traveling round in an Airbus A380: For this project we had to Calculate the distance from the Earth to three of the planets in our Solar System. We did Jupiter, Saturn & Venus. For Example I'll do Jupiter. The way we calculate this is we divide the speed by the distance. So we do 588 x 10^6 divided by 925 which equals 635675.7 hours. Then we convert to days which is 264864875 Days. The way we do that is we divide the amount of hours by the hours in a year. Then to convert to years we divide the days in a year by our previous answer which is 72.56 years.
This is the slide we made,

Percentage Calculations:

In our Maths class we wanted to know if the planets in our Solar System were evenly spaced. We also wanted to the know the space between the planets nad the percentages of them.
This is our answers


Sun-Mur57.9 mil km57.9 x 10<6 =1%
Mer-Ven50.2 Mil Km50.2 x 10<6 =1%
Ven-Ert41.4 Mill Km41.4 x 10<6 =2%
Ert-Mar78.3 Mil Km78.3 x 10<6 =3%
Mar-Jup504.4 Mil Km504 x 10<6 =12%
Jup - Sat646 Mil Km646 x 10<6 =17%
Sat - Ura1.44 Bil Km1.44 x 10<9 =30%
Ura - Nep1.627 Bil Km1.627 x 10<9 =34%
The Whole:4018590000
