What is the absolute value of subtracting these rational numbers on a vertical number line diagram? −22−(1/12)

1 answer

To find the absolute value of subtracting -22 and -1/12, we first need to calculate the difference between the two numbers.

-22 - (1/12) = -22 - 0.0833 = -22.0833

The difference between -22 and -1/12 is -22.0833.

To represent this on a vertical number line diagram, we would start at -22 and move downwards by a distance of 22.0833 units (as the difference is negative).

The absolute value of -22.0833 is 22.0833.
