Answer

$6.6\times 10^{-4}$

Work Step by Step

As $\frac{I_{puto}}{I_{Earth}}=\frac{\frac{P}{4\pi r_p^2}}{\frac{P}{4\pi r_E^2}}$ $\frac{I_{puto}}{I_{Earth}}=\frac{P}{4\pi r_p^2}\times \frac{4\pi r_E^2}{P}$ $\frac{I_{puto}}{I_{Earth}}=(\frac{r_E}{r_p})^2$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $\frac{I_{puto}}{I_{Earth}}=(\frac{r}{39r})^2$ $\frac{I_{puto}}{I_{Earth}}=6.6\times 10^{-4}$
