Which equation can be used to find N, the distance between 3/8 and 61/64 on the number line?
A. 3/8 - N = 61/64
B. N + 61/64 = 3/8
C. N - 61/64 = 3/8
D. 3/8 + N = 61/64

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

Fractions are much easier to compare when they share a single denominator.  Multiplying the numerator and denominator both of 3/8 by 8, we get 24/64.  Then the distance between 3/8, or 24/64, and 61/64 is:

N = 61/64 - 24/64

Answer D is correct.  3/8 + N = 61/64 is equivalent to the above result.

The equation which can be used to find N, the distance between 3/8 and 61/64 on the number line is; Choice D; 3/8 + N = 61/64

Distance on a number line

The equation which can be used to find the distance between 3/8 and 61/64 on the number line is;

  • N = 61/64 -3/8

By comparison, the fraction 61/64 is greater than 3/8 and hence, the distance is given as in the equation above.

  • The equation can therefore be rewritten in the form; 3/8 + N = 61/64
