Question

A bug ran along the number line from -5 to 23. What distance did it cover? If the whole run took the bug 4 minutes, what was its average speed?

Answer 1

28 units and 7 units per minute.

Explanation:

So if it's a negative number like -5 with a positive number, you have to add.

It would be like ( 5 + 23 ) = 28.

Since it took the bug 4 minutes, divide 28 ÷ 4.

28 ÷ 4 is 7 units per minute.

Sorry if it's wrong...
