Compare absolute values

Practice comparing absolute values. Find the absolute value of each number and determine which is greater, smaller, or equal to the other.

For each question, choose the correct symbol: $<$, $>$, or $=$.

This practice helps you:

• find the absolute value of a number;
• compare numbers by their distance from zero;
• strengthen your calculation skills;
• prepare for quizzes and tests.
