It's how far a number is from 0.
( ex.) 6 is 6 away from 0 but so is -6; so the absolute value of 6 is 6 and the absolute value of -6 is 6. the symbol "|" is placed on either side to mean absolute value.
(ex.2) |-6| = 6. -|-6|= -6. |6|=6. and -|6|= -6.
if the negative sign is outside of the symbol then the number will always be negative but if there is no negative sign outside of the symbol it will always be positive, even if it looks lile this. |-6| it would still be positive.
Answer:
20
Step-by-step explanation:
I'm not certain how exactly this question is supposed to be answered.
If it wants a ratio, Paul and Jennifer's speeds would be in a ratio of 3:4.
It also could be Paul types 20 words per minute slower than Jennifer.
It could be Paul types 33% slower than Jennifer.
Another answer could be Paul's typing speed is 3/4ths of Jennifer's typing speed.
Feel free to ask any further questions.
