Answer 2

|-12.5|>|11.5|

Explanation:

When you take the absolute value of a number you're essentially measuring the scalar value or magnitude of that number. "How big is that number as a number not as in + or -".

In other words the number becomes positive

|-12.5|=12.5

|11.5|=11.5

since 12.5>11.5

we can then say

|-12.5|>|11.5|
