Question

Compare the absolute values of the rational numbers in the following pair: -4/5, 3

Answer 1

Answer:

Given:

The rational numbers 3/-7 and -3/7

To find:

Compare the absolute value of the rational numbers in the 3/-7 and -3/7

Solution:

The absolute value of a number describes the distance of a number from origin or zero without considering the direction from zero the number lies.

From given, we have,

3/-7

absolute value = |3/-7| = 3/7

-3/7

absolute value = |-3/7| = 3/7

Therefore, the absolute values of the rational numbers are equal or same.
