Is -1.33 longer than -1.00 in absolute terms?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Absolute value of -1.33 is just 1.33, and the same for -1.00 would just make it a positive. The absolute of any number is really just a positive.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So if they are both positive numbers, which is the farthest away from the 0?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1.33

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yep, exactly

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So if it is relative term? -1.00 will be longer?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Relative term means negative?@MisterMaRz

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Pretty much, sorry was doing something.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Relative term would mean the opposite, so yes it means negative in this case.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thanks so -1 is longer right for relative

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes for relative, since the smaller a negative number is, it is bigger, for relative -1 would be longer since it is a bigger number then -1.33.
