Review 2 Three friends all live on the same street that runs west to east. Beth lives 4 blocks from Ann. Carol lives 2 blocks from Beth. If the street is represented by a number line and Ann's house is located at o, what are the possible locations for Carol's house? The possible locations for Carol's house are ato answers as needed)

Answer 1

1) Gathering the data

3 friends

Beth lives 4 blocks Ann

2) Let's sketch it

3) Let's do a number line

Since Ann's in position 0, and Beth is 4 blocks away, She might be at the right or at the left of Ann. Beth might be at point 4 or at the point -4. A for Carol 2 and -2.

Carol, can be always at halfway between Ann and Beth since She's only 2 blocks to the right or she can be 2 blocks to the left.

In the number line, The possible locations for Beth are point 4 and point -4 since 4 and -4 have the same absolute value, in comparison to zero. And Carol's place might be at point 2 or point -2.
