yes it does matter because you have this number -2 you have to put it on a number line and if i go up to 20 then I will not find the correct answer I'm looking for. you have to make sure its right to have the correct answer

How can we use the number line to find the distance between two rational numbers?
By finding the difference of them
What is the difference between the two even numbers?
Subtract the two numbers to get their difference.
How many numbers are between 773 and 1000?
Let's start with an easier problem. If you want to know how many numbers are between 1 and 7, then you have 2 & 3 & 4 & 5 & 6 which is 5 numbers. If you subtract 1 from 7, then you have 6 numbers. So, to get the final answer you subtract the two original numbers and then subtract one more. In our example, 7 - 1 = 6 and 6 - 1 = 5, so the answer is 5 numbers between 1 and 7. For the given example, take 1000 - 773 to get 227, then subtract one more. So, there are 226 numbers between 773 and 1000.
How do you subtract decimal numebrs?
If you can subtract whole numbers you can subtract decimals. Forget about the decimal for a sec and subtract the numbers as if they were whole numbers. 2.5 -1.4 =1.1 hope this helps and if not yahoo usually has good examples.
How do you subtract bigger numbers from smaller numbers?
you subtract by lining your numbers and start from the ones place and continue going to the left

-6
What is the distance of17ft to 8 ft?
You are supposed to subtract the two numbers.
difference between 14 and 8?
14 - 8 = 6 because finding the difference between is the same as saying, "yo boi, subtract these two numbers."
What is the difference between the two even numbers?
Subtract the two numbers to get their difference.
How can you find the distance between two numbers on a number line?
Just subtract the lowest number from the greatest number. For example, the distance between 3 and 8, is 8 - 3 = 5 units, the distance between -2 and 3, is 3 - (-2) = 3 + 2 = 5 units, the distance between -4 and -2, is -2 - (-4) = -2 + 4 = 2 units.

How do you work out the differences in between numbers?
Subtract the smaller number from the bigger number.
How do you find out how many numbers are in between a range of numbers?
The easiest way to find out how many numbers are in between two points that form a range of numbers (i.e. How many numbers are in between 1 and 1000), is to subtract the first point from the second point and subtract one.Such as 1-1000 would be 1000 - 1 is 999, minus 1 is 998. Therefore there are 998 numbers between 1 & 1000.
How do you decide when to compare numbers using ratios rather by finding the difference of the two numbers?
Finding the difference between two numbers involves rationalising them
What is the difference between subtracting with regrouping in whole numbers and subraction with regrouping in fractions?
We look at the signs of numbers when we need to combine them. We subtract only if numbers have different signs, otherwise we add them. So that, if we have in an expression several positive and negative numbers, we prefer to group numbers with the same sign and add them in order to subtract just once. While with fractions we like to group fractions with the same denominator first, and after that we can combine all fractions by finding their LCD.
What is the distance between -30 and 18 on a number line?
The distance between these numbers is 48.
