please help, Is this correct?

Razor:

The first one should be a positive number not negative

shasha12:

but it says the absolute value of point C?

Razor:

Hm What do you think the value is supposed to be?

shasha12:

-1 1/2 sorry for the delay

Razor:

Explain your answer for me really quick

shasha12:

okay so um it said the absolute value of C so, i'm guessing that answer would not be positive it would be negative, so I chose- or am in between choosing -1 1/2 and -2 1/4

Razor:

Count the spaces inbetween -1 and 0 or 1 and 0

Razor:

And count to that exact number to measure if your answer should be a fraction with 2 or 1

shasha12:

You lost me there, I'm confused

Razor:

ermmm hold on

shasha12:

okay

Razor:

1 attachment
Razor:

You have to measure the spaces

shasha12:

okaaay

shasha12:

-1 1/2

Razor:

ok let me check. I'm a little rusty at this so I'm just walking you through it

Razor:

The fraction is either positive or negative with a 2 1/4

Razor:

Because C is 1 more point ahead of 5 measured by the spaces

shasha12:

thank you so much
