Question

Which sign makes the statement true?​

Answer 1

-88.48 < ∣81.48∣

Explanation:

The given equation is,

→ -88.48 ? ∣81.48∣

The sign which we use will be,

→ -88.48 ? ∣81.48∣

→ -88.48 < 81.48

Hence, the sign we use is (<).

Answer 2

<

Explanation:

The bars on either side of 81.48 are the absolute value symbol.

The absolute value of a number is its positive numerical value.

`\implies |81.48| = 81.48`

`\boxed{\begin{minipage}{5.3cm}\underline{Inequality symbols}\\\\$ < $ means`

A negative number is always less than a positive number.

`\implies -88.48 < |81.48|`

Therefore, the sign that makes the statement true is "<".
