Question

Which expression represents the distance between -14.6 and -5.2 on the number line?

Answer 1

the third expression does

Answer 2

If the expression represents the distance between -14.6 and -5.2 on the number line. The expression that represents the distance between -14.6 and -5.2 on the number line is 9.4.

What is distance?

Distance between these two points:

Distance = Larger value - Smaller value

Where:

Larger value = -5.2

Smaller value= -14.6

So,

Distance = -5.2 - (-14.6)

Distance = -5.2 + 14.6

Distance = 9.4

Therefore the expression that represents the distance between -14.6 and -5.2 on the number line is 9.4.
