The magnitude of a number is it’s distance away from 0 on a number line. Mathematically, the magnitude of a number is equal to its absolute value. To find the absolute value of a number, remove the negative sign if there is one, otherwise leave it alone.

Ex the absolute value of 3 is just 3, while the absolute value of -3 is positive 3.

With that in mind, go through each answer choice to see if it’s true or not.
