The distance between 6.5 and -7.2 on a number line is 13.7
To determine the distance between 6.5 and -7.2 on a number line, you can subtract the smaller number from the larger number and take the absolute value of the result.
|-7.2 - 6.5| = |-13.7| = 13.7
Therefore, the distance between 6.5 and -7.2 on a number line is 13.7.
