To determine the distance between two points on a number line, you can use the formula for distance, which is the absolute value of the difference between the two numbers.
The distance \( d \) between \( a \) and \( b \) is given by:
\[
d = |a - b|
\]
In this case, let \( a = 13.48 \) and \( b = -3.46 \).
First, calculate \( a - b \):
\[
a - b = 13.48 - (-3.46) = 13.48 + 3.46 = 16.94
\]
Now, take the absolute value:
\[
d = |16.94| = 16.94
\]
Therefore, the distance between 13.48 and -3.46 on a number line is **16.94**.
