Question

Which of the following expressions represents the distance between 5/2 and 4 7/8 on a number line?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that

The distance between two points on a number line can be found by taking the absolute value of the difference between those two points .

Let ,

a - 5/2 - multiply by ( 4/4) - 20/8

b - 47/8 - multiply - 4*8+7 /8 - 39/8

The distance between a and B = absolute value (a-b)

absolute value ( a-b) - absolute value 20/8 - 39/8

absolute value ( - 19/8) - 19/8
