what does this mean |-60|
I don't remember what the lines mean????
The expression |-60| represents the absolute value of -60. The absolute value of a number is the distance of that number from zero on the number line, regardless of its sign. In this case, the number -60 is 60 units away from zero, so the absolute value of -60 is 60.
To calculate the absolute value of a number, you can follow these steps:
1. Check if the number is positive or zero. If so, the absolute value is the number itself.
2. If the number is negative, ignore the negative sign and take the value as it is to find the absolute value.
Thus, |-60| = 60.
