What is the magnitude (size) of 6.8?

O A. 68, because |6.8| = 68

O B. -6.8, because |6.8| = 6.8

C. 6.8, because |6.8|= 6.8

O D. 6.8, because |6.8| = -6.8

Answer:

C. 6.8, because |6.8|= 6.8

Step-by-step explanation:

The magnitude of a directed number is a property that turns the number to a positive of its value. Thus, the magnitude of a negative number equals its positive value. Examples:

Find the magnitude of the following numbers:

i. -20

ii. 10

iii. -5

iv. 2

The magnitudes of the numbers can be expressed as:

i. |-20| = 20

ii. |10| = 10

iii. |-5| = 5

iv. |2| = 2

Therefore, the magnitude of 6.8 = 6.8, because |6.8|= 6.8.
