Answer

5.202

Work Step by Step

We are given that Jupiter is 483.3 million miles from the sun. We are also told that AU is the average distance between Earth and the sun, or 92.9 million miles. Therefore, we can divide Jupiter's distance from the sun by 92.9 million miles in order to calculate Jupiter's AU from the sun. $\frac{483.3}{92.9}=5.202$ AU from the sun
