Answer:

  1. 3 1/4
  2. 10.6
  3. 3 1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

  • The distance = number to the right - number to the left

1..................................................................

  • -2 1/2 - (-5 3/4) = -5/2 + 23/4 = - 10/4 + 23/4 = 13/4 = 3 1/4

2...................................................................

  • 8.4 - (-2.2) = 8.4 + 2.2 = 10.6

3...................................................................

  • -3 2/3 - (- 7) = -11/3 + 7 = - 11/3 + 21/3 = 10/3 = 3 1/3
