Explanation:

Given the question :

The value of n is a distance of 3 units from 1 an 1/2 on a number line click on the number line to the possible values of n

From the context of the expression:

n is the distance which exists between 1 1/2 and 3 units from it;

Which may be ;

1 1/2 - - - - (1 1/2 + 3) = 4 1/2

1 1/2 - - - - - (3 - 1 1/2)

Either way, there exists a distance of 3 units between 1 1/2 and 3 units from it.

Hence, n = 3
