Question

Find two rational numbers whose absolute value is $\frac{1}{5}$.

Answer 1

Find the absolute value of the given number

The absolute value of a number is its distance from zero.

To represent the absolute value of a number, its modulus is calculated.

We are given the number $\frac{1}{5}$

Let this be equal to $x$.

So, modulus of $x$ will be,

$$\begin{gathered} \Rightarrow \left|x\right|=\frac{1}{5} \\ \Rightarrow x=-\frac{1}{5},+\frac{1}{5} \end{gathered}$$

Therefore, the absolute value of $\frac{1}{5}$ is $+\frac{1}{5}$ and $-\frac{1}{5}$.
