Answer 1

To determine the distance between two numbers on a number line, you can use the formula for distance:

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

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

Now, calculate the distance:

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

The absolute value is:

\[
|16.94| = 16.94
\]

So the distance between 13.48 and -3.46 is **16.94**.
