Answer:

5.2011 AU

Explanation:

According to the Kepler's Third law

a³ = T²

Here,

a is the distance between the sun and the Jupiter in astronomical units (AU)

and

T is the orbiting period of Jupiter around the sun in years

also,

T = 11.8618 years

Therefore,

The above relation comes as;

a³ = 11.8618²

or

a³ = 140.70

or

a = 5.2011 AU

Hence,

the distance from the Sun to Jupiter is 5.2011 AU
