Question

Which choice could you use to find the distance (d) between the points shown on the number line?

Answer 1

d = 380 units

Explanation:

Find the absolute value of the difference of the 2 numbers, that is

d = | - 235 - 145 | = | - 380 | = | 380 | = 380

or

d = | 145 - (- 235) | = | 145 + 235 | = | 380 | = 380
