Answer:

The absolute value of a number is how far "that number" is from 0 on the number line.

So if you were asked to fins the absolute value of 5 it would be 5, because it is 5 places away from 0 on the number line.

If you were asked to find the absolute value of -5 it would still be 5, because -5 is still 5 places away from zero on the number line.

If you are asked to find the absolute value of 0 it is zero, because 0 is = to 0.

Hope this helps Buddy!
