Since the absolute value of something is just making it positive, we can say, for example, that 100 is greater than 3. Since the absolute value of -100 is 100, the absolute value of -100 is greater than 3
The absolute value is the number without any signs so the absolute value of -8 would be 8. Therefore, any negative number that is less than -3, so -4,-5, -6, -7, -8, -9, -10, -11 etc. and this is because the absolute value of all of these numbers is greater than 3. BTW, since an integer doesn't have any decimals, you can't do 8.5.
