The absolute value of a number is how far away it is from 0 on a number line.
Example) 2 is two numbers away from 0, but neg. 2 (-2) is also two numbers away from 0
So basically. A positive number has the absolute value of itself. (2= a value of 2) and negative numbers have the absolute value of the positive form of that number. (-9= a value of 9)
Numbers that have the absolute value of 2: 2 and -2
Numbers that have the absolute value of 4: 4 and -4
Numbers that have the absolute value of 9: 9 and -9
You are looking to add your numbers together to make a positive.
So the answer is the positive answers to the absolute values: 2,4,9
2+4+9=15
15 is a positive number.
The answer is: 5 miles per hour
First we need to find out how many 3 minutes is in an hour. To do this, we need to divide 60 by 3= 20. Since we now that there are 20 (three minutes) in an hour (60 minuets), me can now multiply 20 by 1/4 of a mile= 5. That makes the answer 5 mph
Hope this helps and hope you have a great day
