Question

1. which of the following is not true about the number given below?

-6.7
a. the number is negative.
b. the opposite of the number is negative.
c. the absolute value of the number is positive.
d. the number is 6.7 units away from zero.

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze Option a

The number is \(-6.7\), which is less than \(0\), so it is negative. So option a is true.

Step2: Analyze Option b

The opposite of \(-6.7\) is \(6.7\), which is positive, not negative. So option b is not true.

Step3: Analyze Option c

The absolute value of \(-6.7\) is \(|-6.7| = 6.7\), which is positive. So option c is true.

Step4: Analyze Option d

The distance of \(-6.7\) from zero is \(|-6.7| = 6.7\) units. So option d is true.

Answer:

b. The opposite of the number is negative.
