Aakash, Bao Ying, Chris and Donna all live on the same street as their school, which
runs from east to west.
• Aakash lives 5 blocks to the west.
• Bao Ying lives 4 blocks to the east.
• Chris lives 2: blocks to the west. .
• Donna lives 61 blocks to the east.
a. Draw a picture that represents the positions of their houses along the street.
b. Find how far is each house from every other house?
c. Represent the relative position of the houses on a number line, with the school at
zero, points to the west represented by negative numbers, and points to the east
represented by positive numbers.
d. How can you see the answers to part (b) on the number line? Using the numbers
(some of which are positive and some negative) that label the positions of houses on
the number line, represent these distances using sums or differences.

The distance between each of the students' houses are:

Aakash & Bao Ying live 9 blocks away from each other

Aakash & Chris live 3 blocks away from each other

Aakash & Donna live 66 blocks away from each other

Bao Ying & Chris live 6 blocks away from each other

Bao Ying & Donna live 57 blocks away from each other

Chris & Donna live 63 blocks away from each other

To solve this question, we represent each with the first letter of their names.

So, we have:

[tex]A= 5\ west[/tex] --- Aakash

[tex]B= 4\ east[/tex] ---- Bao Ying

[tex]C = 2\ west[/tex] --- Chris

[tex]D = 61\ east[/tex] ---- Donna

I've added the picture and the number line that represent the scenario as an attachment.

To calculate how far each lives from each other's, we start by representing west as negative and east as positive.

So, the representations become:

[tex]A = -5[/tex]

[tex]B = 4[/tex]

[tex]C = -2[/tex]

[tex]D = 61[/tex]

The absolute difference of each represents how far they live from one another.

Aakash & Bao Ying         Aakash & Chris                 Aakash & Donna

[tex]AB = |-5 -4| =9[/tex]          [tex]AC = |-5 --2| =3[/tex]         [tex]AD = |-5 -61| =66[/tex]

Bao Ying & Chris                 Bao Ying & Donna

[tex]BC = |4 --2| =6[/tex]                [tex]BD = |4 -61| =57[/tex]

Chris & Donna

[tex]CD = |-2 -61| =63[/tex]

This means that

Aakash & Bao Ying live 9 blocks away from each other

Aakash & Chris live 3 blocks away from each other

Aakash & Donna live 66 blocks away from each other

Bao Ying & Chris live 6 blocks away from each other

Bao Ying & Donna live 57 blocks away from each other

Chris & Donna live 63 blocks away from each other

To carry out the above computations from the number line, we simply count the numbers from one to the other.

For instance:

There are 3 numbers from Akash to Chris.

This means that: Aakash & Chris live 3 blocks away from each other
