Question 1 of 3

Maya starts at -7/4 on a number line. She moves 5/6 units to the right, then 1 1/3 units to the left, and finally 2/9 units to the right. What is the absolute value of Maya’s final position?

Question 2 of 3

Jamal begins at the point -5 on a number line and then moves 3 units to the right. Which statement correctly gives the absolute value of Jamal’s final position and explains why?

Question 3 of 3

Starting at 0 on a number line, Sam first walks 5/3 units to the left, then walks 7/6 units to the right, and finally walks 2/9 units to the left again. What is the distance of Sam’s ending point from zero?
