Briannas jump rope is 13 feet long. alyssas jump rope is 168 inches long. alyssa says her jump rope is much longer because 168 is so much bigger than 13. is alyssa right. why or why not

Alyssa is and isn’t right
She IS right because alyssa’s rope IS longer since 168/12=14 so her rope would be 14ft which is larger than Brianna’s rope
But she ISNT right because Alyssa thinks that just because a number could be larger in a different way of measurement doesn’t mean that it’s actually different when u convert it.. hope this helps! If u need me to clarify anything just ask!

Alyssa is right because her jump rope is 14 feet long.

I want to make sure you understand that absolute value is the distance from zero. It isn't a value; it is a distance.

For example,

6 and -6 both are 6 units from zero. They are opposites on the number line.

8 and -8 are both 8 units from zero. They are opposites on the number line.

But, if you have a negative sign outside the absolute value signs, like so:

-|6| The distance would be 6. But then, since it's outside the signs, it would be -6.

So, yes, wit the signs by itself the absolute value (or distance from zero) is always non-negative.

I hope this helps!
