Question

p= 3/4 and q= -1/2
what is the distance between p and q?

Answer 1

Answer: 1 1/4

Step-by-step explanation: Change to common denominator then subtract to find the difference.

-1/2 is -2/4

3/4 -(-2/4) Subtracting a negative is like adding a positive.

3/4 + 2/4 = 5/4

5/4 as a mixed number is 1 1/4
