Answer 1

3 units

4 1/2 or - 1 1/2

Explanation:

Given that :

Value of n is a distance of 3 units from 1 1/2 on a number line.

Recall that a number line may be divided into two parts that is the left and righmosr portions with 0 as the mid point.

Hence a value of 3 units from 1 1/2 may be to the right (positive) or to the left(negative side of the line).

Therefore :

1 1/2 + 3 = 4 1/ 2

1 1/2 - 3 = - 1 1/2

The value n will result in a distance of 3 units in either way and could be either 4 1/2 or - 1 1/2
