Answer:

4,509 million kilometers

Explanation:

In this case we can use the rule of three to find the answer. We have three related numerical elements and want to find the missing one.

a, b, c, such that, ( a / b = c / x), (i.e., a: b :: c: x )

We have:

  • The distance between Neptune and the Sun: 30.06 AU
  • The number of kilometers an AU represent: 150 million kilometers
  • And a single AU

        1 AU → 150,000,000 kilometers

30.06 AU → x kilometers

We multiply 30.06 AU × 150,000,000 = 4,509,000,000

then we divide that result by 1 AU.

Result = 4,509,000,000 kilometers
