Answer 1

17. 8

18.13

19. 3 6/7

20. 1.34

Explanation:

The absolute value would just be the opposite of the original value.

Answer 2

An absolute value is the positive value of the number between the vertical lines.

If the number in between the vertical lines is negative, the absolute value become a positive.

If the value in between the lines is already positive, it stays positive.

17. |-8| = 8

18. |13| = 13

19. |3 6/7| = 3 6/7

20. |-1.34| = 1.34
