Distance between 2/3 and 6/1

You have come to the right place if you want to know how to calculate the distance between 2/3 and 6/1 on a number line. We will show you how to calculate the answer in fraction form and in decimal form.

We'll start by presenting the illustration below that shows you where 2/3 and 6/1 are positioned on a number line. This will help you fully understand and visualize our calculations.

To calculate the distance between two fractions on a number line, you simply calculate the difference between the two fractions and then find the absolute value of the difference. Thus, this is how you find the distance between 2/3 and 6/1 on a number line:

2/3 - 6/1 = -16/3
|-16/3| = 5 1/3

Now that we know that the distance between 2/3 and 6/1 on a number line is 1/4 in fraction form, we can get the distance in decimal form by dividing out the fraction:

16 ÷ 3 ≈ 5.3333

That is all there is to it, folks! We hope you found this tutorial helpful!
