Answer: 5.6

Step-by-step explanation: The absolute value is 5.6 because it is 5.6 away from zero. The absolute value of a number is its distance from zero and is always a positive number. So lets say your number is -6000, then the absolute value or distance from zero would be 6000.

Hope this helps.
