I assume it's 43 thousand and 335, not 43 point 335.

The first 3 from the right is for tens, the second is 10 times stronger because it's for hundreds and the fourth is again 10 times stronger because it's for thousands. Hopefully that's what you meant :)

Paige lives 3 miles east of her school. Diego lives 8 miles wes of the school. Which expression represents the distance, in mile

True [87]

Answer: |3-(-8)|

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Paige lives 3 miles east of her school. Diego lives 8 miles west of the school.

From the picture , the number line represents the position of the houses of the two friends such that position of Paige is 3 but position of Diego is (-8) [since east and west are opposite directions]

We know that, Distance between any two points from A to B= B-A

Since distance is a positive quantity, thus

The distance between them = $|3-(-8)|$ miles=11 miles
