Question

Which of the following correctly uses absolute value to show the distance between -60 and 13? (5 points)

Answer 1

Answer:

l-60 – 13| = |-73| = 73 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Required

Distance between -60 and 13

Using absolute values, distance is calculated as:

$Distance = |Start - End|$

Where

$Start = -60$

$End = 13$

So, we have:

$Distance = |-60 - 13|$

$Distance = |-73|$

Take absolute value of -73

$Distance = 73$

Hence, option A answers the question
