Question

Jason plotted points on a numer line at the four values below. Which of these values is farthest from zero?

Answer 1

Hello!

As this is referring to distance from 0, it is the absolute value. Therefore, we can just think of the negatives as positives. So, is 0.75, 2/3, 0.4, or 7/8 are our numbers.

If you order them from least to greatest, the greatest being farthest from 0, our answer is D. 7/8.

I hope this helps!

Answer 2

D. 7/8

7/8 = 0.875
2/3 = 0.66667
Since 7/8 is the largest value, it is the furthest from zero.
