Answer 2

The absolute value of a rational number is always positive.

Explanation for the answer:

• The absolute value of a number or integer refers to the actual distance of the integer from zero, in a number line.
• The absolute value is represented by the modulus symbol, ‘| |’, having the numbers between it.
• For example, the absolute value of 5 is denoted as |5|.
• Thus, the absolute value is always a positive value and not a negative number.
