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 = miles=11 miles
