Question

Use the number line to determine the absolute value. Enter the value, as a mixed number in simplest form, in the box. ∣∣−223∣∣ =

Answer 1

2_2/3

Explanation:

Answer 2

`2(2)/(3)`

Explanation:

we know that

Absolute value is a term which is used to indicate the distance of a point or number from the origin of a number line or coordinate system.

In this problem

we have to find the absolute value of the given number

`\left \| -2(2)/(3) \right \|`

that means we have to find the distance of
`\left \| -2(2)/(3) \right \|` from the origin of a number line.

Distance of
`-2(2)/(3)` from the origin is
`2(2)/(3)` .

Remember that the distance cannot be a negative number.

Therefore, the absolute value of
`\left \| -2(2)/(3) \right \|` is
`2(2)/(3)`
