According to Kepler's third law of planetary motion, the mean distance D, in millions of miles, from a planet in our solar system to the sun is related to the time P, in years, that it takes for the planet to complete a revolution around the sun, and the relationship is
D = 93P 2/3.
It takes the planet Pluto 248 years to complete a revolution around the sun. What is the mean distance from Pluto to the sun? What is the mean distance from Earth to the sun? Give your answers to the nearest million miles.
