On a number line what is the distance between -3/7 and -2/3 ?
Solution:
The two points on the number line are - 3/7 and -2/3
Let us make the denominator of both the points equal by multiplying 3 and 7
(-3 × 3)/(7 × 3) = -9/21
(-2 × 7)/(3 × 7) = -14/21
By subtracting both the points
-9/21 - (-14/21) = 5/21
Therefore, the distance between -3/7 and -2/3 is 5/21.
