it's different from just plotting an integer on a number line. You must provide 3 sentences or more.

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.

A CHICKEN COOP HOLDS A TOTAL OF 10 HENS OR 20 CHICKS. IF 2/5THS OF THE HENS IN A FULL COOP ARE REMOVED, HOW MANY NEW CHICKS COUL
LiRa [457]

Answer:

8 new chicks can be fitted in the coop.

Step-by-step explanation:

A chicken coop holds 10 hens or 20 chicks.

That means space in the coop for 10 hens = space for 20 chicks

Or space for 1 hen = space for 2 chicks

Now \frac{2}{5}th of the hens were removed from the coop.

So, number of hens removed from the coop = \frac{2}{5}\times 10

= 4 hens

And space for 4 hens in the coop = space for the 8 chicks

Therefore, 8 new chicks can be fitted in the coop.
