Jimmy and Tony observed two points, P and Q, on a number line.
A number line is shown from negative 1 to positive 1 with increments of 1 over 8. A point P is shown at the fifth tick mark to the left of 0, and a point Q is shown at the fifth tick mark to the right of 0.
Jimmy said that the absolute values of the numbers represented by the two points are the same.
Tony said that the absolute values of the numbers represented by the two points are different.
Which of the following explains who is correct?
A. Tony, because the points have different signs
B. Tony, because the points are at different locations
C. Jimmy, because the distance between the points is fraction 5 over 8 unit
D. Jimmy, because each of the two points is fraction 5 over 8 unit away from 0
