To determine the relationship between 6 and |-13|, we first need to calculate the absolute value of -13.
The absolute value of a number is its distance from zero on the number line, without considering direction. Therefore:
\[
|-13| = 13
\]
Now we compare 6 and 13:
6 is less than 13.
So, 6 is less than |-13|. Therefore:
\[
6 < |-13|
\]
