Question

Find the distance between the two numbers $-2.2$ and $8.4$

Answer 1

Finding the distance between two numbers.

Distance between the two numbers $-2.2$ and $8.4$ is given by $\left|8.4-\left(-2.2\right)\right|$

$\Rightarrow |8.4-(-2.2\left)\right|=|8.4+2.2|=10.6$

Hence the distance between the two numbers $-2.2$ and $8.4$ is $10.6$
