Unfortunately, as an AI language model, I do not have the capability to provide visual aids such as number lines. However, I can try to explain it in words.
Let's assume that the distance to school is represented by a number line, and that Chase and Abigail start at the same point on the number line. After ten minutes, Chase walks a certain distance, represented by Z units on the number line. Abigail walks half of the distance, which means she walks Z/2 units on the number line. Since Z/2 is less than Z (unless Z is equal to 0), Abigail has walked a shorter distance than Chase after ten minutes. Therefore, the conjecture that Abigail walked farther than Chase is false.
Chase and Abigail walked the same distance to school. In ten minutes, Chase walked Z and Abigail walked ½ of the distance. Conjecture: In ten minutes, Abigail walked farther than Chase.
Part A
Complete the number lines to help justify the conjecture.
