Answer 1

To determine whether 6 is greater than, less than, or equal to \(|-13|\), we first need to calculate the absolute value of -13.

The absolute value of a number is its distance from 0 on the number line, regardless of direction. Therefore:

\[
|-13| = 13
\]

Now we compare 6 to 13:

\[
6 < 13
\]

So, the correct response is:

**6 is less than \(|-13|\)**.
