By definition, the absolute value of a number is given by:

| a | = a
Where,
The number a is a real number. This means that the value of a is both negative and positive.
The result is always greater than zero.
Therefore, the absolute value of the given numbers is given by:

|9.8| = 9.8

|-(10)/(3)| = (10)/(3)
Answer:
the absolute value of 9.8 and of -10/3 is:

|9.8| = 9.8
