8<|−8|
7>|−9|
−8>|−9|
7<|−9|
The correct comparison is: |−8| > 8
To compare absolute values, we can ignore the signs and only consider the magnitude of the numbers.
1. First comparison: 8 < |−8|
The absolute value of -8 is 8, so the comparison is 8 < 8, which is not correct.
2. Second comparison: 7 > |−9|
The absolute value of -9 is 9, so the comparison is 7 > 9, which is not correct.
3. Third comparison: −8 > |−9|
The absolute value of -9 is 9, so the comparison is -8 > 9, which is not correct.
4. Fourth comparison: 7 < |−9|
The absolute value of -9 is 9, so the comparison is 7 < 9, which is correct.
Therefore, the correct comparison is 7 < |−9|.
