    B. 3

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Distance between Sun and Mercury = 6x10^7

    Distance between Sun and Mars = 2x10^8

    Assuming Mars is x times farther from the Sun, implies

    (6x10^7) x = 2x10^8

    therefore x = (2x10^8) / (6x10^7)

    Eliminating common factors (2x10^7) is common

    therefore x = (1x10) / 3

    x = 3.33

    The answer is B

    Because Mercury and the Sun are 60,000,00 miles apart and Mars is 200,000,000 miles away from the sun. Divide 200,000,000 and 60,000,000 and you will get 3.3 (Just round)
