Question

This is what i need help with so please help

Answer 1

The temperature farthest from zero is 5

Explanation:

the reason for this is because it doesn't matter whether that temperature is negative or positive because all the question is asking is...."how far from zero"....and would -4 be farther from zero....or would 5 be farther from zero. How I know this is absolute value is always positive. And absolute value of -4....is 4.....and absolute value of 5....is 5.

And 5 is 1 temperature more away from zero than -4.

Answer 2

5 is the farthest from 0

-4 is the coldest temperature

5 is the warmest temperature

Explanation:

The farthest from 0 could be negative or positive. It's just whichever one has the greatest absalute value (if you know that term, if not...), whichever one you would put up more fingers to count to.

In this case, according to the number line, the farthest from 0 into the nagatives is -4, but the farthest from 0 in the positives is 5. This means that 5 is the farthest from 5 because 5 takes 5 of your fingers to count to, whule -4 (yes, even though it's negative) takes just 4 fingers. This is a good way to visualize it until you can wrap your head around it!

The coldest is the lowest number. In this case, it's below zero. Below zero means negatives. In this case, -4 is the lowest number.

The warmest is the highest number. In this case, it's above zero. That means it's a positive number. 5 is the highest number here.
