Well when it comes to absolute value remember that whatever number is inside the two straight lines will always come out as a positive.
a) [54] would still be 54
b)-[-7 3/5] so first you get the absolute value which comes out to 7 3/5 but because there is a negative sign out side of the two parallel lines, the answer would be -7 3/5
c)[3]-[-1] the absolute value of 3 is 3 and the absolute value of -1 is 1. So the expression would be 3-1 which comes out to 2
d)[2.2-5.13] 2.2-5.13 would equal -2.93 but since it is in the absolute value, the answer would come out as 2.93
Hope this helps!

Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
y = 24
Step-by-step explanation:
8 : 4 : : y : 48
8 / 4 = y / 48
1 / 2 = y / 48
y = 48 / 2
y = 24
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Like all problems that involve images within the question, we should definitely try to draw this out. In the picture above, I have done this.
Now, we can see that this is just a simple proportion problem. For every 2.5 cm of height of the flower, we are 2 cm from the opening, or aperture. For every 20 cm of height, how far are we? We can set up the problem like this:
20 ............2.5
-------- = ---------
...x ............. 2
where x is the unknown distance to the aperture from the flower. Now, we just need to get x by itself. A typical way of solving something like this is by doing "butterfly multiplication" which is really just a shortcut haha. Anyway, I can rewrite that equation ^ as:
20×2 = 2.5 × x
Then, to solve for x, we would divide both sides by 2.5. (If you don't know why that is, please let me know and I'll elaborate).
We would then have:
20×2
------- = x
2.5
Which then simplifies to:
x = 16
Try using the same logic for your second question, and if you get stuck, I'd be happy to help! please let me know if any of this doesn't make sense. :)
