Question

Point A is located at negative 6 over 8 and point B is located at negative 1 over 8. What is the distance between points A and B?

Answer 1

The distance between points A at -6/8 and B at -1/8 on a number line is 5/8 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance between points A and B, located at -6/8 and -1/8 respectively, can be found by taking the absolute difference of their positions. Since both points are on a number line (which can be assumed because only one coordinate is given for each point), the distance is the absolute value of the difference between the two points:

|A - B| = |-6/8 - (-1/8)| = |-6/8 + 1/8| = |-5/8|

Therefore, the distance is 5/8 units.

Answer 2

I am pretty sure it is 5 over 1.
