Answer: Choice C: none of the above

Explanation:

The distance between two numbers would be |(number 1) - (number 2)|

--------------------------------------------------------------

Given

Number 1=-3.9

Number 2=-4.7

|(number 1) - (number 2)|

=|(-3.9) - (-4.7)|

=|-3.9+4.7|

The choice is not available.

Therefore, it is none of the above.

Hope this helps!! :)

Please let me know if you have any questions
