What is the definition of absoloute value?
A simple definition is that the absolute value of a number is how many places away from zero it is on a number line. Say you have the number three. The number three is three places away from zero on a number line. Say you have the number negative three. That number is also three spots away from zero on the number line. That is why there is no such thing as negative absolute values.
Is negative ten thirds greater than negative three?
No!Negative ten thirds is -3.33. So we are comparing between -3.33 and -3. On the number line, -3 is to the right hand side of -3.33. And as always, on the number line, a number on the right is ALWAYS greater than ANY number which is on its left.
What is the greaest or least from the number line negative or greater?
what is the greatest or least from the number line negative or greater
When you subtract a negative number from another negative number do you get a positive or a negative number?
always a negative number. just think about going backwards on a number line.
Why is the number line of a number is never negative?
A number line can have both positive and negative numbers. You can put the number line in any position, but often it is represented so that numbers to the right of zero are positive, and numbers to the left of zero, negative.

To add a negative number in which direction do you count on the number line?
Adding a negative number is the equivalent to moving to the left on a negative-positive number line.
What is between 5 eights and six eigths on a horizontal number line?

Is negative one equal to negative one third?
One-third is one divided by three. One-third lies between 0 and 1 on the number-line Similarly.... Negative one-third is negative one divided by three. It lies between -1 and 0 on the number-line. So no, -1 and -1/3 are not equal.
Is negative ten thirds greater than negative three?

What is a smaller negative?
When comparing negative numbers or a negative number and a positive number, the word "smaller" is confusing because it is unclear whether you mean that the number is less than another number or that the absolute value of the number is less than the absolute value of another number. You should use the phrase "less than" instead. A number's absolute value is how far it is from zero; for negative numbers think of it as the number without the negative sign. Negative eleven is less than negative three because negative eleven is farther left on the number line, but the absolute value of negative three, which is shown as |-3|, is less than the absolute value of negative eleven because negative three is closer to zero.

What is a negative subtracted by a negative?
Subtracting a negative number has the same effect as adding a positive number - think of it as moving right on a number line whereas, subtracting a positive number will move you left on a number line.
What are some negative integers between a positive one on the number line?
There are no negative integers between positive ones on the number line.
Do you subtract a negative and a negative?
yesrer324: it depends what way you mean. look at it like this.taking away a negative number from a negative number means you would go up the number number line just as positive numbers go up the number line.
