Express the distance between the given numbers using absolute value. Then find the distance by...

Step 1
Given:
The two numbers as -3.6 and -1.4
Step 2
Explanation:
Definition:
Distance between two numbers:
In terms of absolute value,
Let P and Q be any two real numbers
then,
${\displaystyle \left|P-Q\right|=}$ The distance between P and Q
Step 3
The given two numbers as -3.6 and -1.4
Therefore,
Consider D be the distance between -3.6 and -1.4,
${\displaystyle D=\left|-3.6-(-1.4)\right|}$
${\displaystyle D=\left|-2.2\right|}$
D=2.2
Or
${\displaystyle D=\left|-1.4-(-3.6)\right|}$
${\displaystyle D=\left|2.2\right|}$
D=2.2
Here the change in the order of numbers does not effect the answer
Since both are same.
Therefore,
Absolute value between -3.6 and -1.4 is 2.2.
Hence the solution.
