find the absolute value of 9.8 and of -10/3.
The absolute value of 9.8 is 9.8. The absolute value of -10/3 is found by using your order of operations like so:
-10÷3= -3.333...
l-3.333...l = 3.333...
By definition, the absolute value of a number is given by:
\(| a | = a\)
Where,
The number a is a real number. This means that the value of a is both negative and positive.
The result is always greater than zero.
Therefore, the absolute value of the given numbers is given by:
\(|9.8| = 9.8\)
\(|-\frac{10}{3}| = \frac{10}{3}\)
Answer:
the absolute value of 9.8 and of -10/3 is:
\(|9.8| = 9.8\)
\(|-\frac{10}{3}| = \frac{10}{3}\)
