Question

Blake says he can use the absolute value to help order the numbers -6/5 and -2/3. He says the absolute value of -6/5 is greater so it is farther away from zero, and therefore -6/5 <-2/3. do you agree? Explain.


I think no, he can't use the absolute value to help order the numbers but I don't exactly remember why. can someone help me with this?

it's true

Get out your number line. -6/5 is farther away (to the left) from 0 than -2/3
so, -6/5 < -2/3
