5.29 is less than 52.9

look at where the decimal point is at. To the left of it is the whole number, and to the right of it is decimal. If one of the whole numbers is greater than the other, than you have your answer. If it is after the decimal point, the number that is larger towards the left (closest to the decimal point) will make that number larger than the other

hope this helps

Answer:

4 and 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Method A

1) Method A: Let 2 be the starting point and -2, the finishing one. Counting between 2 and -2, we can count a distance of 4 units. That's the simplest way, but not convenient to great numbers on the Number Line.

Method B:

There is no such thing as a negative distance, as a physical quantity. So this is the reason why we need to compute the absolute value of two numbers, which is simply what was done on Method B.

|2-(-2)|=|4|=4

As we are dealing with absolute values, the order is not relevant after all, the result remains the same. Take a look:

|-2-2|=|-4|=4

That's why the greater (2) or the lesser number (-2) can be the subtrahend (in bold within the brackets.
