Express the distance between the given numbers using absolute value. Then find the distance by evaluating the absolute value expression.
-3.6 and -1.4 Tuthornt

Step 1
Given:
The two numbers as -3.6 and -1.4
Step 2
Explanation:
Definition:
Distance between two numbers:
In terms of absolute value,
Let P and Q be any two real numbers
then,
$|P-Q|=$ The distance between P and Q
Step 3
The given two numbers as -3.6 and -1.4
Therefore,
Consider D be the distance between -3.6 and -1.4,
$D=|-3.6-\left(-1.4\right)|$
$D=|-2.2|$
D=2.2
Or
$D=|-1.4-\left(-3.6\right)|$
$D=|2.2|$
D=2.2
Here the change in the order of numbers does not effect the answer
Since both are same.
Therefore,
Absolute value between -3.6 and -1.4 is 2.2.
Hence the solution.
