What is the distance between 6.5 and -7.2 on a number line

To find the distance between two points on a number line, we subtract one point from the other and take the absolute value of the result.

So in this case, the distance between 6.5 and -7.2 is:
|-7.2 - 6.5| = |-13.7| = 13.7

Therefore, the distance between 6.5 and -7.2 on a number line is 13.7 units.

To find the distance between two points on a number line, you subtract the smaller number from the larger number and take the absolute value of the result.

So, the distance between 6.5 and -7.2 is:

|-7.2 - 6.5| = |-13.7| = 13.7

Therefore, the distance between 6.5 and -7.2 on a number line is 13.7 units.
