Answer 1

To determine the distance between two numbers on a number line, you can subtract one number from the other and take the absolute value of the result.

Here, we want to find the distance between 13.48 and -3.46:

Distance = |13.48 - (-3.46)|

This simplifies to:

Distance = |13.48 + 3.46|
Distance = |16.94|
Distance = 16.94

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