Correct Answer
A. Distance of a number to 0Explanation
Absolute value measures the distance of a number from 0 on the number line. It gives the magnitude or size of a number without considering its sign. For example, the absolute value of -5 is 5, as it is 5 units away from 0 on the number line. Similarly, the absolute value of 5 is also 5, as it is also 5 units away from 0. Therefore, the correct answer is the distance of a number to 0.Rate this question:
