Question

Which number has the greatest absolute value?

A) −5
B) −10
C) −20
D) −30

Answer 1

-30

Explanation:

The important thing to remember when calculating the greatest absolute value is that it is NEVER negative. Normally, we would calculate -5 as more than -30.

However, since the absolute value of -5 is 5 and the absolute value of -30 is 30, the greatest absolute value is -30.

Hope this helps! :D
