Absolute value measures the:
- A.
  
  Opposite
- B.
  
  Distance of a number to 0
- C.
  
  GCF
- D.
  
  LCM
Correct Answer
B. Distance of a number to 0

Explanation
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.

What is used to represent about sitting at the sea level?
- A.
  
  Positive Number
- B.
  
  Negative Number
- C.
  
  0
Correct Answer
C. 0

Explanation
The answer is 0 because sitting at sea level means being at the same elevation as the surface of the sea, which is considered the baseline or reference point for measuring elevation. Therefore, the representation of sitting at sea level is 0, as there is no positive or negative deviation from this reference point.

Arrange the given set of integers in ascending order. { -1, 3, -5, -7 }
- A.
  
  { -1, 3, -5, -7 }

  { -5, -7, -1, 3 }
Correct Answer
B. { -7, -5, -1, 3 }

Explanation
The given set of integers is {-1, 3, -5, -7}. To arrange them in ascending order means to sort them from smallest to largest. The correct answer is {-7, -5, -1, 3} because it follows the ascending order. -7 is the smallest integer, followed by -5, then -1, and finally 3, which is the largest integer in the set.
