Question

Find the distance between the two numbers
$-\frac{7}{9}and-\frac{2}{9}$

Answer 1

Distance between the two numbers =

$\left|-\frac{2}{9}-\left(-\frac{7}{9}\right)\right|=\left|-\frac{2}{9}+\frac{7}{9}\right|=\frac{5}{9}$

hence, the distance between $-\frac{7}{9}and-\frac{2}{9}$ is $\frac{5}{9}$.
