Question

Find the distance between
and 11/5 and
$\sqrt{ \frac{25}{4} }$

on a number line
​

Answer 1

Answer:

The distance is $\frac{3}{10} = 0.3$

Step-by-step explanation:

First notice that $\sqrt {\frac{25}{4} }=\frac{5}{2}$

Then we need the distance between those two fractions, which can be found via the absolute value of the difference between these two numbers;

$distance=|\frac{11}{5} -\frac{5}{2} |\\distance=|\frac{22}{10} -\frac{25}{10} |\\distance= \-\frac{3}{10} |\\distance= 0.3$
