On a number line, four points are marked: $A = - \frac{3}{4}, B = - \frac{1}{3}, C = \frac{1}{6}, D = \frac{2}{3}$ .
Which point is the FARTHEST from 0?

Question

On a number line, four points are marked: A = -3/4, B = -1/3, C = 1/6, D = 2/3. Which point is the FARTHEST from 0?

Accepted Answer

A. Distances from 0 are the absolute values: 3/4 = 0.75, 1/3 = 0.333, 1/6 = 0.167, 2/3 = 0.667. Largest is 3/4, so A is farthest.
