No, that is not true. The absolute value is the distance a number is from zero. The distance of -9 to 0 is 9. 9 is not less than 4.

Answer:

No.

Step-by-step explanation:

They are not correct because the "| |" signs mean absolute value. What ever is inside the signs must be positive. So -9 becomes 9 and 9 is greater than 4. So, the student is not correct.

Blababa [14]

Answer:

<h3> 78%</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Number of scientist that line in Antarctica during the winter = 1,100

Amount of scientist  in the summer = 5,000

Increment = 5000 - 1100

Increment  = 3900

percentage change = Increment/Original amount * 100

Percentage change = 3900/5000 * 100

Percentage change = 3900/50

Percentage change = 78%

<em>Hence the percent change in the number of scientists living in Antarctica is 78%</em>
