Question

Evaluate each expression.

10. |-435| = 11. |-5.3| = 12. |34.3| =

Answer 1

10. 435, 11. 5.3, 12. 34.3

Explanation:

Number 10:

Since these "||" are called Absolute Value, any negative numbers would convert to a positive number. Like how -435 is inside of the Absolute Value, you would convert -435 into 435.

Number 11:

Same thing as number 10. Since -5.3 is inside of the Absolute Value, you could covert -5.3 to 5.3.

Number 12:

Since 34.3 is already a positive number inside of the absolute value, you don't need to change the sign. Only negative signs in those lines needs to change into a positive.
