Interpret the absolute value of a rational number as its distance from 0 on the number line and as a magnitude for a positive or negative quantity in a real-world situation. Example: For an account balance of –30 dollars, write |–30| = 30 to describe the size of the debt in dollars, and recognize that an account balance less than –30 dollars represents a debt greater than 30 dollars.
