how would you find the absolute value of 5.23? i do not know how. my child is using a number line.

Answer :

The absolute value is to write the nubmer as a positive number

For example:

|-4| = 4

|-2.5| = 2.5

| 6| = 6

So, the number if was negative, we will make it positive

And the number if positive, will remain as it is

There is no need to use the number lines

So, the absolute value of 5.23 = | 5.23 | = 5.23
