Question

I need help with number 2 please

Answer 1

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

2.

what is the middle between 2 numbers (any numbers, really) ?

you add both numbers and divide the result by 2.

the same here :

(-3 + 24) / 2 = 21/2 = 10 1/2

proof :

what is the distance from -3 to 10 1/2 ? it is 10 1/2 from 0 to 10 1/2 plus 3 from -3 to 0 = 10 1/2 + 3 = 13 1/2.

what is the distance from 10 1/2 to 24 ? it is 13 from 11 to 24, and another half from 10 1/2 to 11. so, in total 13 1/2.

both distances are equal, so it is proven for 10 1/2 to be the midpoint.
