Question

Which choices are correct when determining the distance between −56 and 44?

Responses
A The distance is 100 units.
B distance = −|−56 + 44|
C The distance is 12 units.
D distance = |−56 + 44|
E distance = |−56 − 44|

D distance = |−56 + 44| is correct. The distance between two numbers is the absolute value of their difference. So, in this case, the distance is equal to the absolute value of (−56) − 44, which is |-56+44| or |−12| = 12 units.
