Chad used a number line to show the distance from the library to his house and the distance from the library to Kelli's house. How much farther is Chad's house than Kelli's house from the library? A number line from 0 to 1 is divided into 8 equal parts. Library is at 0, Kelli's House is at four-eighths, and Chad's House is at seven-eighths on the number line.

Respuesta :

Chad's house is 3/8 units farther away than Kelly's house.

How to use the number line?

By reading the number line, we can see that:

  • Library = 0
  • Kelli's House = 4/8
  • Chad's House = 7/8.

These fractions are the positions of each location. We want to find how much farther is Chad's house than Kelli's house from the library, this is given by:

(Chad's house position - library position) - (Kelli's house position - library position)

Writting the fractions, we get:

(7/8 - 0) - (4/8 - 0)  = 3/8

So Chad's house is 3/8 units farther away than Kelly's house.
