Question

Which equation can be used to find n, the distance between 3/8 and 61/64 on thye number line

Answer 1

Distance between points =
`(37)/(64)`

Explanation:

This is a relatively simple problem. Here we have to find the distance between two points on the number line.

The given two numbers are fractions and to find the difference between these two numbers, we have to make their denominators common.

One has denominator as 8 and the other as 64.

We make the common denominator as 64.

Then the fractions are
`(24)/(64)` and
`(61)/(64)`.

The distance between the two points =
`(61)/(64)` -
`(24)/(64)`

=
`(37)/(64)`
