Question

What is the absolute value of 3/2

Answer 1

3/2

Explanation:

|3/2| = 3/2

Absolute value is the distance away from zero. These parentheses things (super long lines) | | indicate absolute value. For example, |-3| is 3 and |3| is also 3.

I hope this explains somethings.

Answer 2

3/2

3

2

is already positive,

3

2

is the absolute value of

3

. If you were asked for the absolute value of

−

3

2

, it would be

3

2

too since the modulus function would turn

−

3

2

to positive.
