| - 4.5 | | \frac{11}{2} |

$| - 4.5 | | \frac{11}{2} |$

Step 1

The absolute value is the distance between a number and zero. The distance between

- 4.5

$- 4.5$ and

0

$0$ is

4.5

$4.5$ .

4.5 | \frac{11}{2} |

$4.5 | \frac{11}{2} |$

Step 2

\frac{11}{2}

$\frac{11}{2}$ is approximately

5.5

$5.5$ which is positive so remove the absolute value

4.5 (\frac{11}{2})

$4.5 (\frac{11}{2})$

Step 3

Multiply

4.5 (\frac{11}{2})

$4.5 (\frac{11}{2})$ .

Step 3.2

Multiply

4.5

$4.5$ by

11

$11$ .
