in general, it doesn't matter whether our equations involve positive or ...
Signed Fractions: Exercise on the Absolute Value of Fractions
This clip explains that, like signed whole numbers, signed fractions have absolute values "
and they work in exactly the same way. For example, the absolute value of 6/7 is just that, 6/7, but the absolute value of negative 6/7 is also 6/7."
