|−6| is greater than |−13|
6 is greater than |−13|
The correct response is: Yes, because both statements are equal.
To understand why, we need to understand the concept of absolute value. The absolute value of a number is its distance from zero on the number line. It is always a non-negative value.
In this case, |12| means the absolute value of 12, which is simply 12. Similarly, |−13| means the absolute value of −13, which is again 13.
So, |12| is equal to 12 and |−13| is equal to 13. Now, comparing these two values, we see that 12 is indeed greater than 13. Therefore, the comparison |12| > |−13| is the same as 12 > −13.
