Question

Joe and Tim observed two points, P and Q, on a number line.

Joe said that the absolute values of the numbers represented by the two points are different.

Tim said that the absolute values of the numbers represented by the two points are the same.

Which of the following explains who is correct?

Joe, because the points have different signs
Tim, because each point is fraction 3 over 8 unit away from 0
Tim, because the distance between the points is fraction 3 over 8 unit
Joe, because the points are at different locations

Answer 1

the awnser is Tim ! each point is fraction 3 over 8 unit away 0

Answer 2

The answer is Tim, because each point is fraction 3 over 8 unit away from 0.

Explanation:

The absolute value is how far away a number is from 0 on a number line so since -3/8 is still 3/8 away from 0 the absolute value would be 3/8.
