To determine the distance between the two numbers 13.48 and -3.46 on a number line, you can use the formula for distance between two points \( a \) and \( b \), which is given by:

\[
\text{Distance} = |a - b|
\]

In this case, let \( a = 13.48 \) and \( b = -3.46 \).

Calculating the distance:

\[
\text{Distance} = |13.48 - (-3.46)| = |13.48 + 3.46| = |13.48 + 3.46| = |16.94|
\]

Since the absolute value is being taken, the distance is:

\[
16.94
\]

So, the distance between 13.48 and -3.46 on a number line is **16.94**.
