Which of the given numbers has the greatest modulus? A) 34.4 B) 34.34 C) -34.397 D) -43.4

Answer D – -43.4

Why:

In fact, -43.4 is the smallest number listed. But the minus sign in front makes it small. The modulus of a number is the number itself, but written without signs, only values.

Let’s write the modules of all numbers:

A) | 34.4 |

B) | 34.34 |

B) | 34.397 |

D) | 43.4 |

And in this form, it is immediately noticeable that the module of the number -43.4 is greater than the modules of the remaining numbers, although in fact, this number is less than all of them.
