Definition:
Absolute Value of x, denote |x| = x if x >= 0, -x if x < 0
Proposition, quotients between positive numbers are positive.
That is a, b, provided BOTH are positive, (a, b > 0) then a/b is positive.
Proof: Obvious, exercise :P
Ok, the proposition is to make this answer look cool, but we know that 11/4 is positive or 11/4 > 0 from the proposition.
Hence by definition |11/4| = 11/4.

Absolute value of -4 is 4.
Absolute value is always positive. Absolute value is the distance away from zero. Ex: |-4| = 4 |4| = 4
4
4. A number's absolute value is it's distance from zero.
basically a absolute value of a number is a positive of that number and a negative of the number. For example the absolute value of 4 is 4 and -4. |4| = 4;-4
