If (A=-0.5), (B=0), and (C=0.75) on the number line, which pair has the greatest distance?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: (A) and (C)

The direct answer is option C: the pair A and C. Distance between two number-line points is the absolute difference of their coordinates. For A and B, \(|0-(-0.5)|=0.5\). For B and C, \(|0.75-0|=0.75\). For A and C, \(|0.75-(-0.5)|=|1.25|=1.25\). Since 1.25 is greatest, AC is the required pair. Option A is smaller at 0.5, and option B is smaller at 0.75. Option D is wrong because the three distances are not equal. The farthest points are the two outermost points on the number line. Compare coordinates by absolute subtraction, not merely by looking at signs.
