Question

-2 1/2, -5 3/4 what the distance between the two numbers on a line

Answer 1

Answer:

- 13/4

Step-by-step explanation:

convert improper fraction into improper fraction

-2 1/2 = - 5/2

-5 3/4 = -23/4

distance = (-5/2) - (-23/4)

= -10/4 + 23/4 ... equalizing denominator

= (-10 + 23)/4

= 13/4

so distance between points is 13/4 or 3 1/4
