Answer:
It's a function that associates a real number x with a positive real number using the flowing definition: If the number is not negative (so either positive or 0) the absolute value is x. If x is negative, the absolute value is -x.
This means that to find the absolute value of x you must first determine if x is negative or not, and if it is, multiply it by -1. If it isn't, leave it as it is.
Since the absolute value is a function (of a given number), you can't just plot that number in the number line but the function (so in this case absolute value must be taken first.
The absolute value of x is never negative, so given the absolute value of x we can't determinate if x was positive or negative (if x =/ 0) before the absolute value was taken.
Do a proportion
60/100= x/300
60 x 300= 18,000
18,000 divided by 100= 180
Answer is 180
Or you could have done .60 x 300 and got 180.
0.1111 if you want it as a decimal
Dividing by a half is the same as multiplying by two. 3/4 multiplied by 2 is
or, in improper fraction form
or, in decimal form, 1.5
