Answer:

1 and 1/3

Explanation:

The absolute value means that you have a positive sign no matter what the value is. It is the distance in units from 0 on the number line to the point in question.

The number line is laid out in 1/6. Each tick is 1/6. Since the point is at 1 and 2/6, we have to reduce the fraction. In 2/6 you can divide the bottom and top by 2 to reduce the fraction.

2 divided by 2 = 1

6 divided by 2 = 3

Therefore the 2/6 reduces to 1/3

You already know you had a 1, so you add 1/3 and it is 1 1/3.
