Question

find the absolute value of the following
A.
-21 / 20
​

Answer 1

Answer:

21/20

Step-by-step explanation:

marks a -21 on the number line on the left side I.e. -21,-20,-19,-18,-17,-16,-15,-14,-13,-12,-11,-10,-9,-8,-7,-6,-5,-4,-3,-2,-1,0

So, -21 is 21 steps ahead from 0

hence, absolute value=21

again, marks 20 on the right side of the number line from 0

0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20

So, 20 is 20 steps ahead from 0

hence, absolute value =20
