If point Q is located at 1.6 and the distance from P to Q is 1.02, where could point P be located?

To determine the possible location of point P, we need to use the information provided about the distance from P to Q. Since point Q is located at 1.6, we can find the potential locations of P by adding or subtracting the distance from P to Q, which is 1.02.

First, we will calculate the two potential locations for point P:

1. If we subtract the distance from Q to P from the location of Q:

( P = Q - \text{distance} = 1.6 - 1.02 = 0.58 )

2. If we add the distance from Q to P to the location of Q:

( P = Q + \text{distance} = 1.6 + 1.02 = 2.62 )

So, point P could either be at 0.58 or 2.62.

The correct answer provided indicates that P could be located at 0.58. This is confirmed by the calculation that shows 0.58 is indeed one of the potential locations derived from the distance given.

Choices like 1.02, 2.62, and 1.6 do not represent valid locations for point
