Answer:
a) 5.9
b) 4.2
Step-by-step explanation:
Plot the data points on the number line (see attached).
Part (a)
[tex]\begin{aligned}\textsf{Distance between Ben and Kloee} & = \sf \left| Ben - Kloee \right|\\& = \sf \left|-2.65-3\frac{1}{4}\right|\\& = \sf \left|-2.65-3.25\right|\\& = \sf \left|-5.9\right|\\& = \sf 5.9\end{aligned}[/tex]
Part (b)
[tex]\begin{aligned}\textsf{Distance between Middle school and Football field} & = \sf \left| Middle\:school-Football\:field\right|\\& = \sf \left| 1.5-5.7\right|\\& = \sf \left| -4.2 \right|\\& = \sf 4.2\end{aligned}[/tex]
