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

Leila and jo are two of the partners in a business. Leila makes $3 in profits for every $4 that jo makes. If jo makes $60 profit
Aleonysh [2.5K]

Let

x-------> Leila 's profit

y------> Jo's profit

we know that

\frac{x}{y} =\frac{3}{4} ----------> equation 1

For y=\$60

<u>Find the value of x</u>

Substitute the value of y in the equation 1

\frac{x}{60} =\frac{3}{4}

x=60*\frac{3}{4}

x=\$45

therefore

<u>the answer is</u>

Leila make \$45 in profit
