Answer:

Option 2) 300

Uranus has a mass that is approximately 300 times greater than Mercury's

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ----> Uranus's mass

y ---->  Mercury's mass

we have

[tex]x=8.61*10^28\ units[/tex]

[tex]y=3.302*10^26\ units[/tex]

Divide Uranus's mass by Mercury's mass

[tex]\frac{x}{y}[/tex]

substitute the values

[tex]\frac{8.61*10^28}{3.302*10^26}=260.75[/tex]

Round to the nearest hundred

therefore

Uranus has a mass that is approximately 300 times greater than Mercury's
