Order the values from least to greatest

1. 3, |-5|, - 2, 1, - 4

2. 11, |-9|, 0, |8|, - 5

Explain the answer and how you got it

1. - 4 - 2 1 3 |-5|

2. - 5 0 8 |-9| 11

Theses numbers |-9| are always positive but if it's outside the box it would be negative for example - |4| is negative

1.) - 4, - 2, 1, 3, |-5|

-4 and - 2 are first because they are the least, then 1 and 3 are next. The absolute value of - 5 is last because it has the greatest value, 5. (The absolute value of a negative number is the same number but positive)

2.) |8|, - 5, 0, |-9|, 11

The absolute value if 8 is first because it has the least value, - 8. (The absolute value of a positive number is the same number but negative) Then - 5 and 0 are next. The absolute value of - 9 is next because it is actually 9, and 11 is last because it has the greatest value.
