On a number line what is the distance between -29 and 100?
A. 29
B. 71
C. 81
D. 129
Yes, 129 is right.
0 to 100 = 100
0 to -29 = 29
And your answer is?
my answer is D. 129 but im not sure could you please help me check?
Okay, thank you Ms. Sue
You're welcome.
100 - (-29) = 100 + 29 = 129.
To find the distance between two points on a number line, you need to subtract the smaller number from the larger number and take the absolute value of the difference.
In this case, the smaller number is -29 and the larger number is 100. Subtracting -29 from 100 gives us 100 - (-29) = 100 + 29 = 129.
However, we need to take the absolute value of the difference to get the distance. The absolute value of 129 is 129.
Therefore, the distance between -29 and 100 on the number line is 129.
So the correct answer is D) 129.
