Answer:

Opposite: +2/5

Absolute = +2/5

Explanation:

The absolute value of a number is the distance between the number and zero on a number line. That means the absolute value is always positive.

Two numbers are opposites if they have the same absolute value but different signs

So absolute value of -2/5 = |-2/5| = 2/5

Opposite of -2/5 = +2/5
