Answer 1

The correct statement that compares the values in the statement ∣negative 0.45∣?∣negative 0.0045∣ is ∣negative 0.45∣ > ∣negative 0.0045∣.

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct statement that compares the values in the expression ∣negative 0.45∣?∣negative 0.0045∣ is a) ∣negative 0.45∣ > ∣negative 0.0045∣.

To compare the values, we need to remove the negative signs and compare the absolute values. The absolute value of -0.45 is 0.45, and the absolute value of -0.0045 is 0.0045. Since 0.45 is greater than 0.0045, the statement ∣negative 0.45∣ > ∣negative 0.0045∣ is true.
