To determine the distance between 6.5 and -7.2 on a number line, you can subtract the smaller number from the larger number.
In this case, the larger number is 6.5 and the smaller number is -7.2.
Subtracting -7.2 from 6.5 gives us:
6.5 - (-7.2) = 6.5 + 7.2 = 13.7
Therefore, the distance between 6.5 and -7.2 on a number line is 13.7 units.
