Answer:
2.6 units
Step-by-step explanation:
since you can count and see that there are 9 minimarks in between each whole number, you know that each minimark is equal to .1, then count how many minimarks it take you to get the the first whole number go towards zero, so starting at -1.3, you would count 3 minimarks. so now you are at -1, and you can add 2 to get to +1, so now your total distance traveled is 2.3, then count how many minimarks it takes you to get to the point, which is also three, so when you add it all together, you have 2.6
the other way to solve this is to add the absolute value of each point together, granted this only works when you have one positive point and one negative point. the equation for this would be |-1.3|+|1.3|=2.6. this works because the absolute value measure the distance from zero, so you can addd them together to get the total distance
