Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The absolute value of a number is its distance from 0 on the number line, which is always positive. Thus, $\left| - \frac { 5 } { 6 } \right| = \frac { 5 } { 6 }$ and $\left| \frac { - 3 } { 8 } \right| = \frac { 3 } { 8 }$. Multiplying these gives $\frac { 5 } { 6 } \cdot \frac { 3 } { 8 } = \frac { 15 } { 48 }$, which simplifies to $\frac { 5 } { 16 }$.
