Question

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

Answer 1

Hello! To answer this question, all you have to do is subtract both numbers from each other. 14.6 - 5.2 is 9.4. The numbers are 9.4 units away from each other on a number line. An expression that would represent a distance between them are 14.6 - 5.2 = x. Just make the negative numbers positive to make it easier to solve.

Answer 2

9.4

Explanation:

We are given that two integers -14.6 and -5.2

We have to find distance between -14.6 and -5.2.

Difference between =-5.2-(14.6)

Difference=-5.2+14.6=9.4

Distance is the absolute value of 9.4

Therefore,

`\mid 9.4\mid =9.4`

Distance between -14.6 and -5.2 is 9.4
