Question

Express each of the following pairs of signed numbers as absolute values and subtract the smaller absolute value from the larger absolute value.
f.-33,7,-29.7

Answer 1

Given:
\(\left[ -33.7, -29.7 \right]\) is given as a pair of signed numbers.
Calculation:
\(= -33.7,-29.7\)
The absolute value of -33.7 is 33.7.
The absolute value of -29.7 is 29.7.
The smaller absolute value is 29.7 and the larger absolute value 33.7.
Now, the subtraction of smaller absolute value from the larger absolute value is
\(= 33.7 —29.7=4\)
Hence, the subtraction of smaller absolute value from the larger absolute value is 4.
