Question

(E) What is the distance between 5.3 and 5.34? (F) what is the distance between 26.854 and 26.858?(G) what is the distance between -0.7 and 0.3

Answer 1

(E) 0.04

(F) 0.004

(G) 1

Explanation:

We can calculate the distance by subtraction, subtracting the smaller number from the larger number.

We calculate in each case:

`\begin{gathered} \text{ \lparen E\rparen} \\ \\ 5.34-5.3=0.04 \\ \\ \text{ \lparen F\rparen} \\ \\ 26.858-26.854=0.004 \\ \\ \text{ \lparen G\rparen} \\ \\ 0.3-\left(-0.7\right)=0.3+0.7=1 \end{gathered}`
