Case Study

Evaluating Temperature Deviations in Cold Storage

Based on the case study, write a short response that addresses the following:

  1. State the distance from zero on a number line for both the temperature deviation of Unit A (3{}-3 degrees) and Unit B (3{}3 degrees).
  2. Write the mathematical equation for evaluating the absolute value of each unit's deviation.
  3. State the general rule regarding the absolute value of a number and its opposite, and explain why this occurs.
