Front

What is distance in mathematics?

Back

Distance is a numerical measurement of how far apart two points are, regardless of direction.

Front

How do you calculate the distance between two points on a number line?

Back

Subtract the smaller number from the larger number and take the absolute value.

Front

What is the absolute value of a number?

Back

The absolute value of a number is its distance from zero on the number line, always expressed as a positive value.

Front

What is the distance between point K and 0 if K is at -1?

Back

1 Unit.

Front

What is the distance between point K and G if K is at 2 and G is at 6?

Back

4 Units.

Front

How do you find the difference between two temperatures?

Back

Subtract the lower temperature from the higher temperature.

Front

What is the difference in temperature if the outside temperature is -7°F and the inside temperature is 61°F?

Back

68°F.

Front

If the temperature decreases from 4°F to -9°F, what is the total decrease?

Back

13°F.

Front

If the temperature increases from -2°F to 13°F, what is the total increase?

Back

15°F.

Front

What does it mean when temperature is expressed in negative values?

Back

Negative values indicate temperatures below the freezing point of water (32°F or 0°C).
