Comparing absolute values worksheet
1. Compare |-7| and |-9|
2. Compare |-4| and |-4|
3. Compare |3| and |9|
4. Compare |-15| and |1|
5. Compare |-6| and |-4|
Comparing absolute values worksheet - Solution
Question 1 :
Compare |-7| and |-9|
Solution :
The absolute value of a number is the number’s distance from 0 on a number line.
To understand this, let us mark -7 and -9 on a number line.
On the above number line, -7 is 7 units from 0.
Since -7 is 7 units from 0, we say that the absolute value of "-7" is 7.
The absolute value of -7 is written |-7|.
And |-7| = 7 ------> (1)
On the above number line, - 9 is 9 units from 0.
Since -9 is 9 units from 0, we say that the absolute value of "-9" is 9.
The absolute value of -9 is written |-9|.
And |-9| = 9 ------> (2)
From (1) and (2),
it is clear that 9 is greater than 7.
Hence, |-9| is greater than |-7|.
Question 2 :
Compare |-4| and |-4|
Solution :
The absolute value of a number is the number’s distance from 0 on a number line.
To understand this, let us mark -4 and 4 on a number line.
On the above number line, -4 is 4 units from 0 to the left.
Since -4 is 4 units from 0, we say that the absolute value of "-4" is 7.
The absolute value of -4 is written |-4|.
And |-4| = 4 ------> (1)
On the above number line, 4 is 4 units from 0 to the right.
Since 4 is 4 units from 0, we say that the absolute value of "4" is 4.
The absolute value of 4 is written |4|.
And |4| = 4 ------> (2)
From (1) and (2),
it is clear that 4 is equal to 4.
Hence, |-4| is equal to |4|.
Solution for other questions :
3. |9| is greater than |3|
4. |-15| is greater than |1|
5. |-6| is greater than |-4|
