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.
