Question

-2 ⅛, -2.25, 2 ⅜, -2.29, and 2 4/11. Which number has the greatest absolute value?

Answer 1

Answer:

2 ⅜

Step-by-step explanation:

Absolute value is, basically put, the distance a number is from 0

So we can ignore the negatives, and look for the largest number!

-2 ⅛, -2.25, 2 ⅜, -2.29, and 2 4/11

\/

2 ⅛, 2.25, 2 ⅜, 2.29, and 2 4/11

Now, I am going to turn them all into decimals to make them easy to compare:

2 ⅛, 2.25, 2 ⅜, 2.29, and 2 4/11

\/

2.125, 2.25, 2.375, 2.29, and 2.36363636 etc

This means that 2.375 is the largest number, which was originally 2 ⅜, so there is our answer!

I hope this is right and helps, have a nice day! :D
