Question

If an and b are both positive numbers and a < b, what must be true about their absolute values?

Answer 1

D) |a|>|b|

Explanation:

So as we know a number that is greater in negative sign than other is a smaller number, for example if a=-10 and b=-3 then a<b, because B is closer to 0 than a, that is why it is greater than a, but if you calculate the absolute value will be greater in A than B, because in absolute value the sign is eliminated so the since A is a greater value than B that is the correct answer.
