|-0.45| > | -0.0045|

An absolute value is a number's distance from zero.

The absolute value of -0.45 is 0.45

The absolute value of -0.0045 is 0.0045

Therefore, |-0.45| > | -0.0045|


Hope this helps!

Absolute value means the distance from 0.

|-0.45| =0.45

|-0.0045|=0.0045

0.45>0.0045

So

|-0.45|>|-0.0045|
