Answer 2

By definition, the absolute value of a number is given by:
 $| a | = a$
 Where,
 The number a is a real number. This means that the value of a is both negative and positive.
 The result is always greater than zero.
 Therefore, the absolute value of the given numbers is given by:
 $|9.8| = 9.8$
 $|-\frac{10}{3}| = \frac{10}{3}$
 Answer:
 the absolute value of 9.8 and of -10/3 is:
 $|9.8| = 9.8$
 $|-\frac{10}{3}| = \frac{10}{3}$
