6 is equal to |−13|

Answer 1

To solve the problem, we need to find the absolute value of -13.

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

\[
|−13| = 13
\]

Now we compare 6 and 13:

- \(6 < 13\)

So, the correct response is:

**6 is less than |−13|**.
