Question

Use the integer number line to complete the two problems below.Remember | | means distance from zero.1) |-9| =2) |-3| + | 4| =

Answer 1

For part 1:

If we locate -9 in the number line and count the units to 0, we can see that the distance of -9 to 0 is 9

Then:

$|-9|=9$

For part 2:

Doing the same with -3, the distance to 0 is 3, and the distance from 4 to 0 is 4.

Then:

$|-3|+|4|=3+4=7$
