Absolute Value and Inequality Fun Facts!

Did you know that absolute value and inequality have some interesting properties?

Let's explore some fascinating facts about absolute value and inequality with the following statements:

1) |8.5| = 8.5

2) |-4| > |5|

3) 20 < 25

4) |3.7| < |-7|

Let's find out the truth behind these statements!

We will break down each statement to see which ones are true and which one might be false.

Let's start with statement 1: |8.5| = 8.5. This statement is indeed true because the absolute value of 8.5 is 8.5, as it represents the distance of 8.5 from zero on the number line.

Moving on to statement 2: |-4| > |5|. This statement is actually false. The absolute value of -4 is 4, which is not greater than the absolute value of 5, which is 5. Therefore, statement 2 is incorrect.

Statement 3: 20 < 25. This statement is true as 20 is indeed less than 25. Simple and straightforward!

Lastly, statement 4: |3.7| < |-7|. This statement is also true. The absolute value of 3.7 is 3.7, which is smaller than the absolute value of -7, which is 7.

So, out of the given statements, only statement 2 (|-4| > |5|) is false. The rest are accurate representations of absolute value and inequality properties.
