Question

Pretty please help me with this‼️

Answer 1

For this case we have to, the distance of both numbers will be given by the absolute value of their subtraction, that is:

$d = | 4.7 - (- 11.2) | = | 4.7 + 11.2 | = | 15.9 | = 15.9$

This is equivalent to:

$d = | -11.2-4.7 | = | -11.2-4.7 | = | -15.9 | = 15.9$

ANswer:

$| 4.7 - (- 11.2) | = | -11.2-4.7 |$
