Question

13. A number line is shown below. Which of the following expressions represents the distance between -4and 5 on the number line?-4-3-2-1012345A. 1-4+51B. 14-51C. |-5-(-4)D. |-4-51

Answer 1

Remember that to find a distance between two numbers, we have to subtract the least number from the greater one. So, in this case, we have -4 and 5, where 5 is greater than -4.

`5-(-4)=5+4=9`

Therefore, the distance between the numbers is 9.

The answer is C.
