31, 26, 23, 18, 0, -1, -24, -28

Answer 2

Answer:

a) 78               b) (-1)               c) 31 > 26 > 23 > 18 > 0 > (-1) > (-24) > (-28)

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Absolute value of 78 = 78

Reason: No matter what the number is, its absolute value will always be non-negative

b) Greatest negative number = (-1)

Reason: The further left of the number line we move, the smaller the number becomes and the more right we move, the greater the number becomes. (-1) is towards the right of all the negative numbers, hence it is the greatest negative number.

c) Integers in descending order = 31 > 26 > 23 > 18 > 0 > (-1) > (-24) > (-28)

Reaon: The further left of the number line we move, the smaller the number becomes and the more right we move, the greater the number becomes.
