To find the absolute value of a subtraction, we need to subtract the numbers first.
-22 - 1 1/2 = -22 - 1.5 = -23.5
Since we are looking for the absolute value, we disregard the negative sign and take the opposite value: 23.5
Therefore, the absolute value of subtracting -22 and 1 1/2 on a vertical number line diagram is 23.5.
-22 - 1 1/2 = -22 - 1.5 = -23.5
Since we are looking for the absolute value, we disregard the negative sign and take the opposite value: 23.5
Therefore, the absolute value of subtracting -22 and 1 1/2 on a vertical number line diagram is 23.5.

Apologies for the confusion. Let's find the correct absolute value using a vertical number line diagram for clarity.
First, we have -22 as the starting point on the number line. To subtract 1 1/2 (or 3/2), we move downwards by 3/2 units.
Starting at -22, we move downward 1 unit to reach -23. Then, we move another 1/2 unit down.
So, the final result on the number line is -23 1/2.
To find the absolute value, we ignore the negative sign and take the opposite value: |-23 1/2| = 23 1/2.
Therefore, the correct absolute value of subtracting -22 and 1 1/2 on a vertical number line diagram is 23 1/2.
