We need to find the absolute value of these numbers to see which one is closer to the surface of the ocean. The surface of the ocean is at 0.

Trina : | - 85.5 | = 85.5 meters from 0
Jessie : | 87.9 | = 87.9 meters from 0

so Trina is closer to 0 then Jessie is. <==
The reason we took the absolute value of these numbers, is because that is what the absolute value does...it tells us how many spaces away from 0 it is.

pentagon [3]

Answer:

It would take Brennan 4 track practice runs.

Step-by-step explanation:

He has already run 16 miles and needs to run 28 in total. If we are counting the 16 in the 28 miles, he would need to run only 12 more to reach his goal. And if he runs 3 miles a run, it would take him about 4 runs to finish his 28-mile goal.

(28-16=12 and 12/3=4)
