Answer:

C. 17

Step-by-step explanation:

The rule postulate says that "the distance between two points is the absolute value of the difference of the corresponding numbers."

Let the two points be given:

P = 7

Q = 24

And let D be the distance between the two points.

So,

D = │P-Q│ = │7-24│ =│-17│ = 17

So, the correct answer is C. 17

Hope this helps!

What integer represents w? 9 : 4 = 27 : w

joja [24]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

This is because to get 9 to 27 you have to multiply 9 by 3, therefore you have to multiply 4 by 3 due to the fact what you do to one side you have to do to the other to make it all equal:

9 x 3 = 27

4 x 3 = 12

ratio- 9 : 4 = 27 : 12
