3. Absolute value is the number of places away from zero
sometimes, always, or never
My answer/think: sometime
I'm not guesting that is what I think.
BTW: Are these are correct??? If wrong please explain why so that way I can understand.

1. A negative integer is always less than a positive integer.
Explanation: In the number system, negative integers are represented by numbers to the left of zero on the number line, while positive integers are represented by numbers to the right of zero. Since any negative number is to the left of any positive number, a negative integer is always less than a positive integer.
2. A negative integer is always less than another negative integer.
Explanation: Similar to the previous explanation, negative integers are represented by numbers to the left of zero on the number line. Since any negative number is to the left of another negative number, a negative integer is always less than another negative integer.
3. Absolute value represents the distance of a number from zero on the number line, rather than the number of places away from zero.
Explanation: Absolute value is always positive or zero and it does not reflect the concept of "places" away from zero. The absolute value of a number is defined as the distance between that number and zero on the number line. It is calculated by removing the negative sign, if any, from a negative number and keeping the number as it is if it is positive or zero. Therefore, the statement "Absolute value is the number of places away from zero" is incorrect.
