What is -l-1 2/5l as a decimal???
What is -| -1 2/5 | as a decimal?
As a decimal, 2/5 = 0.4
---> -1 2/5 = -1.4
Finding the absolute value:
| -1 2/5 | = | -1.4 | = 1.4
The negative sign in front of the absolute value makes the answer -1.4
In the absolute values bracket, everything become positive :D (Stays positive :DDDD)
|\(\begin{array}{c}\circ\\↑\\\text{^}\\\end{array}\)|<-- That man was positive LOL.
|-1 2/5| = 1 2/5
-|-1 2/5| = -(1 2/5) = -1 2/5
-1 2/5 = -7/5 (division)= -1.4
Same as geno's answer
The answer is -1.4. The way to get to the answer is to first change -1 2/5 to a decimal. Then, find the absolute value of that. After that, you can just change it to a negative.
