It looks like you've uploaded an educational image titled
"Finding the Absolute Value of Numbers" for
Grade 6, but there is
no specific problem or question included in the image. The image explains what absolute value is and how to use a number line to find it, but it doesn't present a math problem to solve.
Let me summarize the key concepts from the image and explain how to find the absolute value of a number:

🔍 What is Absolute Value?
The
absolute value of a number is its distance from zero on the number line, regardless of direction (positive or negative). It is always
non-negative.
It is written as:
> |x| = the absolute value of x
For example:
- |5| = 5 (because 5 is 5 units from 0)
- |-3| = 3 (because -3 is 3 units from 0)

🧮 How to Find Absolute Value Using a Number Line
1. Draw a number line with zero in the middle.
2. Locate the number on the number line.
3. Count how many units it is from zero.
4. That distance is the
absolute value.
> Example:
> Find |-2|
> On the number line, -2 is 2 units away from 0 → |-2| = 2

✔ Examples:
| Number | Absolute Value | Explanation |
|--------|----------------|-----------|
| |4| | 4 | 4 is 4 units from 0 |
| |-7| | 7 | -7 is 7 units from 0 |
| |0| | 0 | 0 is 0 units from 0 |

🐘 Fun Fact from the Image!
The zookeeper says: *"Hi there! Want to come and see the animals in the Zoo? Study with me first!"* — This suggests that learning absolute value is the "entrance ticket" to the zoo!
