R0068-34920 · q-20260923-real-rational-point-distance-0020

Original question and givens

Two rational real points are 9/5 and -7/6. Find the exact distance |9/5−-7/6| as a lowest-terms fraction.

  • G001 — Two rational real points are 9/5 and -7/6. Find the exact distance |9/5−-7/6| as a lowest-terms fraction.

Definition and scope

Use the original question domain, assumptions and cited MKO definitions. This item has second-context mathematical and bilingual review, with the model, answer and every arithmetic step independently recomputed from the original parameters; the source question remains a candidate.
