Question

Which of the following expressions represents the distance between 3/4 and 2?

Choose 1 answer
|3/4-2|
|2-(-3/4)|
none of the above

Answer 1

|3/4-2| is the correct answer

Answer 2

Answer:|3/4-2|

Explanation:

The given equation tells us about the difference between two values on the number line. By comparing both numbers we know, that 3/4 is smaller than 2 . So subtracting 3/4 by 2 we get,2-3/4=5/4

5/4=1.25

So, if we have a number line where 3/4 is present to the left and 2 will be on the right. This indicates the length of separation between these two is 1.25
