A student said that since –9 is less than 4, then |–9| is less than |4|. Is the student correct? Explain why or why not

1 answer:

5 0

The student is not correct.

Absolute value means distance from zero
|-9| = 9
|4| = 4

Since 9 is greater than 4,
|-9| is greater than |4|

In other words, -9 is further from zero then 4
