What is the distance between -45 and -98 on a number line?
To find the distance between -45 and -98 on a number line, we need to find the absolute value of the difference between the two numbers. The absolute value of a number is its distance from zero.
|-98 - (-45)| = |-98 + 45| = |-53| = 53
Therefore, the distance between -45 and -98 on a number line is 53 units.
To find the distance between -45 and -98 on a number line, you need to subtract the smaller number from the larger number and take the absolute value of the result.
|-98 - (-45)| = |-98 + 45| = |-53| = 53
So, the distance between -45 and -98 on a number line is 53.
