How do you evaluate the expression |4/13|

Hi there!

First, you need to find the quotient of 4 and 13, obviously.

4/13 is equal to roughly 0.308.

Those grouping symbols around it tell you that you need to find the absolute value.

Absolute value is how far away a number is from 0 on a number line. 3, for example has a absolute value of 3, and -6 has an absolute value of 6.

So, the absolute value of 4/13 is about 0.308.

Hope this helps.  :)
