Answer:

1- THIRD OPTION.

2- FIRST OPTION.

Explanation:

By definition the Absolute value of a number is its distance from zero on a number line, therefore it's never negative.

1- Knowing this, and given the following numbers:


|-29|,\ |3|,\ |0|,\ |-73|

You can say that:


|-29|=29\\\\|3|=3\\\\|0|=0\\\\|-73|=73

Then, you can order them from least to greatest:


|0|,|3|,|29|,|73|

2- Given:


(1)/(3),\ |-(1)/(2)|,\ |-(2)/(3)|,\ -(2)/(3)

You can say that:


|-(1)/(2)|=(1)/(2)\\\\|-(2)/(3)|=(2)/(3)\\\\|0|=0\\\\|-73|=73

Then, you can order them from least to greatest:


-(2)/(3),\ ,|(1)/(3)|,|-(1)/(2)|,\ |-(2)/(3)|
