What is the distance between -3/7 and -2/3 on a number line?

Correct! Wrong!

Absolute values (|a| or abs(a)) can be used to find the distance between two numbers.
abs(-3/7 -2/3) is the distance between these two values.
= abs(-(3/7 -2/3))
= abs(3/7 -2/3)
= abs(9/21 - 14/21)
= abs(-5/21 )
=5/21

One-third of the job applicants were under the age of 25. Two-sevenths of the candidates were above the age of 50. How many of the 84 people that applied for the job were between the ages of 25 and 50?

The formula h -15 = 3.2t calculates a plant's height h in inches t weeks after planting.
When did the height of 31 inches occur?

Correct! Wrong!

After t weeks, h =15 + 3.2t gives the height of a shrub in inches. When a person's height is 31 inches, the answer is 31 = 15 + 3.2t.
16 = 3.2t
t = 163.2 t = 163.2 t = 163.2 t = 16
t = five
After 5 weeks, the height is 31 inches.
