Write and simplify an expression showing how many times farther Neptune is from the Sun than Mercury. Write the result in scientific notation.

I think it's 
$$3.5\times 10^7$$
For Mercury to Sun
And,

$$2.8\times10^9$$
For Neptune, so

I guess you subtract those and you get
$$3.5-2.8=0.7\times10^2$$

Maybe??
