Shortest Distance from Origin - 1D

The distance between any two points on the real line, $x_{1}$ and $x_{2}$ is given by $|x_{1} - x_{2}|$ , that is the absolute difference between the two points.

In the problem, we have to find the distance between $x = \frac{3}{4}$ and the origin, $x = 0$ . The distance is $|\frac{3}{4} - 0 | = \frac{3}{4}$ . When converted to decimals, $\frac{3}{4}$ is equal to $\boxed{0.75}$ $_\square$
