 the school is at 0, and Anna's house would be at 2.5 because it is east (to the right of 0) and Ben's would be -2 (because it is west...to the left of 0)

Answer:

Ben's house is at point -2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that Anna lives 2.5 miles to the east of her school, and Ben lives 2 miles to the west of the same school

When Anna draws a map with a number line connecting her house to Ben’s house, with school marked as 0 then to the east would be +2.5

Since Ben lives 2 miles to the west, Ben would be marked as negative -2.

(West denotes negative in number line)

So answer is Ben's house is at point -2
