Three friends all live on the same street that runs west to east. Ben lives 8 blocks from ann. Carol lives 2 blocks from ben. If the street is represented by a number line and ann's house is located at 0, what are the possible locations for carol's house?

i. 10 units (Carol's house is 10 units on the right from Ann's house)

ii. -10 units (Carol's house is 10 units on the left to Ann's house)

Step-by-step explanation:

A number line is a system that can be used to express the location of directed number on a straight line. It has an origin which is taken to be zero (0).

In the given question, Ann's house is located at 0 of the number line. Let 1 block be represented by 1 unit on the number line.

Thus, Ben lives 8 blocks from Ann implies that Ben's house is at 8 units from Ann's house.

Given that Carol's house is 2 blocks from Ben implies that Carol's house is 2 units from Ben.

So that,

The possible locations of Carol's house depends on its position with respect to Ann's house.

i. Carol's house = 8 + 2

                          = 10 units

This implies that Carol's house is 10 units on the right from Ann's house.

ii. Carol's house = - 8 - 2

                           = -10 units

This implies that Carol's house is 10 units on the left to Ann's house.

the answer is 28
