Segments

Which of the pairs of numbers on the number line encloses the longest segment:

-9.3; 2.5
6.5; 5.1
-13.3; -5.6
12.2; -9.6 « Correct result
-12.4; -7.8

Step-by-step explanation:

$$\begin{gathered} \mathrm{\mid }-9.3-2.5\mathrm{\mid }=11.8 \\ \mathrm{\mid }6.5-5.1\mathrm{\mid }=1.4 \\ \mathrm{\mid }-13.3-(-5.6)\mathrm{\mid }=7.7 \\ \mathrm{\mid }12.2-(-9.6)\mathrm{\mid }=21.8 \\ \mathrm{\mid }-12.4-(-7.8)\mathrm{\mid }=4.6 \\ \max =21.8 \end{gathered}$$
