Question 1195848: A stock lost value on both Monday and Tuesday. On Monday, it changed by -5.7 points and on Tuesday it changed by -3.8 points. On which day did it drop the least? Answer by math_helper(2461) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Tuesday, because |(Tuesday's change)| < |(Monday's change)|
Another way to look at it is that Tuesday's change (-3.8) lies closer to zero than Monday's change (-5.7), on, say, a number line.
