Since -5 and -5 are the same number, they are on the same y axis so the only distance we need to calculate is between the X coordinates.
When looking for distance, you can not have a negative. what |-3|+|9| is looking for is the distance from 0 on the X axis. since distance can't be negative, (you go 3 miles away from your house in one direction, vs 3 miles in the opposite. both ways is positive, even with opposite directions. same with axis, it doesnt matter which way, only the number.) you need the absolute value of -3 to get the distance from the 0 on the x axis.
short version: distance is positive, and its adding the distances from the x axis to get distance from each other
Answer:
3 times
Step-by-step explanation:
heaviest : 9/10 kg.. 0.9kg
lightest : 3/10 kg.... 0.3kg
0.3/0.9 = 1/3
The ratio of areas is the square of the scale factor, so that factor is
√(320/180) = 4/3
