Explanation:

The absolute value is the distance from 0 to 2.5. In this case the absolute value from 0 to |2.5| is 2.5.

However, we can also use an equation like so:

|2.5|=2.5

This is because whether you change the equation or not to equal another number, the answer will ALWAYS be 2.5. If the absolute value was |-2.5| then the answer would simply be the negative integer of the positive outcome.

Answer: 2.5
