Question

On a number line, how far apart are -2 and 7?

Answer

On a number line, negative numbers lie to the left of zero and positive numbers lie to the right. To count the distance, count the slots between the two numbers:

Number_line

There are TWO units between -2 and 0, and there are SEVEN units between 0 and 7. Together, there are NINE units between them.

Question

On a number line, which of the following is the greatest distance?

The distance between -3 and 0.

The distance between -1 and 2.

The distance between -2 and 2.

Answer

On a number line, the negative numbers lie to the left of zero and positive numbers lie to the right. To visualize the distance between numbers, look at the units:

Number_line2

-3 and 0 are 3 units apart.

-1 and 2 are 3 units apart

-2 and 2 are 4 units apart. This is the greatest distance.

Compare your answer with the correct one above

Question

Which distance is greatest?

The distance between -2 and 1.

The distance between 1 and 7.

The distance between -2 and 5.

Answer

Looking at a number line, you can visualize the distance between positive and negative numbers:

Number_line3

There are THREE units between -2 and 1

There are SIX units between 1 and 7.

There are SEVEN units between -2 and 5, so this is the greatest distance.

Question

A) The distance between -2 and 5 on a number line.

B) The distance between -1 and 3 on a number line.

Answer

The first step is to find out the values of A and B by counting the units between the given numbers.

Number_line4

A) The distance between -2 and 5 on a number line is 7.

B) The distance between -1 and 3 on a number line is 4.

Compare your answer with the correct one above

Question

A) The distance between -3 and 1 on a number line.

B) The distance between 2 and 5 on a number line.

C) The distance between -2 and 3 on a number line.

Answer

To find the distance between any two numbers on a number line, remember that negative numbers lie to the left of zero and positive numbers lie to the right. This is easier to do understand with a picture:

Number_line5

A) The distance between -3 and 1 on a number line is 4.

B) The distance between 2 and 5 on a number line is 3.

C) The distance between -2 and 3 on a number line is 5.

Compare your answer with the correct one above

Question

A) The distance between -3 and 0.

B) The distance between -1 and 2.

C) The distance between -2 and 2.

Answer

To find the sum of these values, you first need to find each individual difference. Use a number line to help visualize the distance between each pair of numbers:

Number_line2

A) The distance between -3 and 0 is 3.

B) The distance between -1 and 2 is 3.

C) The distance between -2 and 2 is 4.
