Question

alice is showing her friends a new card game in which you can gain or lose points. whoever has the score furthest from zero wins. so, losing points can actually help you win! the scores at the end of the game are shown in the table.

player	score
devon	45
martin	-70

who won the game?
options: alice, devon, martin

Explanation:

To determine who won, we need to find the absolute value of each player's score (since distance from zero is what matters).

• For Alice: $|60| = 60$
• For Devon: $|45| = 45$
• For Martin: $|-70| = 70$

Now we compare these absolute values: $70 > 60 > 45$. So Martin's score is furthest from zero.

Answer:

Martin
