Question

What is the distance between -10 and 25 on a number line?

A) -35
B) -15
C) 15
D) 35

Answer 1

Since I cannot draw a number line here, imagine ten jumps below 0 and 25 jumps above 0. To find the distance between -10 and 25, we add the numbers together, ignoring the negative sign.

= 10 + 25
= 35 distance


ANSWER: The distance between -10 and 25 is (D) 35.

Hope this helps! :)
