To find the distance between two numbers on a number line, you simply subtract the smaller number from the larger number. In this case, the numbers are 37 and 23.
So, we calculate:
Distance = 37 – 23
When you perform the subtraction, you get:
Distance = 14
This means the distance between 37 and 23 on a number line is 14 units. We always take the absolute value when calculating distance, but since 37 is greater than 23, we won’t have to worry about negative values in this case.
