Question

Match the two points to the distance between them.

• A. $\frac{9}{2}$
• B. $\frac{11}{2}$
• C. $\frac{13}{2}$
• D. $\frac{7}{2}$

Answer 1

The distance between the pair is found by subtracting the smaller number from larger number.


Distance between $\frac{1}{2}\&5=5-\frac{1}{2}$

$=\frac{9}{2}$


Distance between $\frac{1}{2}\&-5$
$=\frac{1}{2}-(-5)$

$=\frac{11}{2}$


Distance between -$\frac{3}{2}\&5$
$=5-(-\frac{3}{2}$)

$=\frac{13}{2}$


Distance between $-\frac{1}{2}\&-4$
$=-\frac{1}{2}-(-4)$

$=\frac{7}{2}$
