Question statement
Find the distance between the two numbers on number line
$1\frac{1}{2}$ and $-\frac{2}{3}$ and

Answer 1

To find distance find absolute value of difference of numbers

$$\begin{gathered} \left|-\frac{2}{3}-1\frac{1}{2}\right| \\ \left|-\frac{2}{3}-\frac{3}{2}\right| \\ =\left|-\frac{4}{6}-\frac{9}{6}\right| \\ =\left|-\frac{13}{6}\right| \\ =\frac{13}{6} \end{gathered}$$

Hence, the distance between the two numbers on number line $1\frac{1}{2}$ and $-\frac{2}{3}$ is $\frac{13}{6}$.
