What is the definition of absolute value?
The distance a number is from 0
Can the absolute value of an number be negative or a decimal? Explain
The distance a number is from 0 cannot ever be negative. The distance can be a decimal such as 1.5.
Find the absolute value:
- ( - |-4|)
4
Simplify:
|(8-4)| + |-3|

1. Order from greatest to least based on value.
2. Order from greatest to least based on absolute value.
3. Explain why the answers are different
100, -110, -5, 0
100, 0, -5, -110
|-110|, |100|, |-5|, 0
The value of the number is not always the same as the number's distance from 0.
