Question

:

Which statement can be represented by the absolute value of −55? Choose all that are correct.


A. Determine the opposite of 55.


B. Determine the size of Kris’s debt if he owes $55.


C. Determine how many feet −55 feet is below zero feet.


D. Determine how far −55 is from zero on the number line.

Answer 1

C. Determine how many feet −55 feet is below zero feet.

D. Determine how far −55 is from zero on the number line

Explanation:

Determine how many feet −55 feet is below zero feet.

This will give us the answer of 55feet , and the absolute value of -55 is 55.

0--55= 0+55 = 55

Determine how far −55 is from zero on the number line

This will also give me us 55 feet because the distance from 0 to -55 is 55

I.e. 0--55= 0+55 = 55
