Looking at the number line, the absolute value is the distance away from 0. We can see that -5/6 is 5/6 away from 0. -3/2 is 3/2 away from 0. Distance is always positive, so absolute value is also always positive.

Absolute value describes the distance of a number on the number line from 0 without considering which direction from zero the number lies. The absolute value of a number is never negative. The absolute value of 2 + 7 is 5.
