They are the numbers that are placed on a number line that are exact same distance away from 0
If, by greater, you mean which is farther away from zero on the "number line" then the answer is neither! they are equally distant from zero. The "absolute value" of a number is the distance from zero on the number line. -3 -2 -1 0 +1 +2 +3 That's what the number line middle looks like for whole numbers. -firstmate-
The question isn't too clear, but I'll assume it means, "what is a negative number minus a positive number?" The answer to that is: a negative number. To explain why, imagine the number line. A negative number is to the left of 0. Subtraction says to go reverse the direction you would if you were adding the number. Adding a positive number would mean you're going to the right. So you just go farther to the left. Wherever you are, you're still on the left side of the 0, so the result is a negative number.

the number 0
.25 is bigger since it is farther away from 0 on the number line.

Whatever number it says on the chart it's always going to be the same For example if 4 is farther from 0 then the answer will be 4 or it can be negative 4. Thank you for your support And for using wikipedia answers

Sample Response: The absolute value of a number is the distance the number is from 0 on a number line. Since distance is never negative, absolute value is never negative.
the number 0
There is an infinite amount of numbers between 0 and 1 on the number line.
-1.35678 is one of infinitely many possible answers.
1.0 is greater than 0.2 in trying to explain think of a number line --- such as the one below where the numbers are increasing . I big the number at 0 and finish at 2 number line: 0 smallest number in this number 0.1 0.2 0.3 0.4 0.5 0.6 0.7 0.8 0.9 1.0 1.1 1.2 1.3 1.4 1.5 1.6 1.7 1.8 1.9 2.0 largest number in this number line
