The number is negative, so it is -2.78
Its absolute value is +2.78
So, the distance between the two is 5.56
They are equal distances from 0, but in opposite directions.
If the absolute value of a negative number is 2.78, what is the distance on the number line between the number and its absolute value? Explain your answer.
**I think it would be 2.78 because isn't the absolute value the distance from zero? So wouldn't it be the same?
I'm confused. Can someone please help.
