Question 156997: Need help...I tried working this, but I can't seem to get the correct answer...also, what button figures absoulte value on a scientific calc?
|4.8 � 2.0|/4.8
thanks,

Answer by gonzo(654) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
|4.8-2.0| = 2.8
since it was positive to start with, it stays the same.
2.8/4.8 = .583333333......
i don't recall ever seeing an absolute value button on my calculator.
there may be a function that provides that on a programmable calculator.
check with the manufacturer.
