Is 6 greater than, less than, or equal to |−13|?
A. 6 is equal to |−13|
B. 6 is less than |−13|
C. |−6| is greater than |−13|
D. 6 is greater than |−13|
no, |-13| = 13
so 6 < |-13|
Apologies for the mistake. You are correct.
B. 6 is less than |−13|.
To determine whether 6 is greater than, less than, or equal to |−13|, we need to find the absolute value of −13.
The absolute value of a number is the distance of that number from zero on the number line.
So, the absolute value of −13 is 13.
Now, we can compare 6 to 13.
Since 13 is greater than 6, we can conclude that 6 is less than |−13|.
Therefore, the correct answer is B. 6 is less than |−13|.
