The point M is at 2, and the point J is at 18.
So the distance between the point can be calculates as follows:
[tex]J-M=18-2=16[/tex]
Now we need to find how much is 7/8 out od the 16 units of distance. For this, we multiply 7/8 by 16:
[tex]\frac{7}{8}(16)=\frac{7\times16}{8}=\frac{112}{8}=14[/tex]
7/8 os the distance is 14
