Answer: 1.6
==================================================
Explanation:
Let's find the distance between the two given values
Let a = -2.8 and b = -7.2
Subtract a and b, then apply absolute value to ensure the result isn't negative.
|a-b| = |-2.8-(-7.2)|
|a-b| = |-2.8+7.2|
|a-b| = |4.4|
|a-b| = 4.4
The distance from -2.8 to -7.2 is 4.4 units.
To go from -2.8 to -7.2, we moved 4.4 units to the left.
Let's go back to -2.8 and now move 4.4 units to the right.
So we add 4.4 onto -2.8 getting
-2.8+4.4 = 1.6
The diagram is shown below.
On a number line, the number 1.6 is the same distance from −2.8 as −7.2 the answer is 1.6.
What is a number line?
It is defined as the representation of the numbers on a straight line that goes infinitely on both sides.
It is given that two numbers on a number line that is:
-2.8 and -7.2
To find the other number that is the same distance from −2.8 as −7.2:
Mathematically, we can write a number expression:
= -2.8 -(-7.2)
= -2.8 + 7.2
= 4.4
The arithmetic operation can be defined as the operation in which we do the addition of numbers, subtraction, multiplication, and division.
Accordingly, -7.2 is 4.4 units distant from -2.8.
= -2.8 +4.4
= 1.6
Thus, on a number line, the number 1.6 is the same distance from −2.8 as −7.2 the answer is 1.6.
