It would be 3 1/3. All you have to do is count on the number like to that point. Then the absolute value of something is always positive.

Answer:

see below (I hope this helps!)

Explanation:

We can see that every 3 tick marks on the line is 1, therefore, the space between 2 tick marks is 1/3. Using this information, we can see that A =
-3(1)/(3). The absolute value of a negative number is simply the additive inverse of the number, therefore, our answer is
-(-3(1)/(3)) = 3(1)/(3).
