What is the distance between 86.25 to -17.75
You have two numbers. Do you think you should
add?
subtract?
multiply?
divide?
I got 104 feet by subtracting
Oh??
I get 68.5 by subtracting. But that is not the right answer for this problem.
so 104 is correct?
Yes, 104 is correct.
To find the distance between two points on a number line, you can simply subtract the smaller value from the larger value. In this case, the larger value is 86.25 and the smaller value is -17.75.
Distance = Larger Value - Smaller Value
Distance = 86.25 - (-17.75)
Distance = 86.25 + 17.75
Distance = 104
Therefore, the distance between 86.25 and -17.75 is 104.
