Lesson 4

The temperature at dawn is \(6^\circ \text{C}\) away from 0. Select all the temperatures that are possible.

\(\text-12^\circ \text{C}\)

\(\text-6^\circ \text{C}\)

\(0^\circ \text{C}\)

\(6^\circ \text{C}\)

\(12^\circ \text{C}\)

On the number line, plot and label all numbers with an absolute value of \(\frac32\).

Put these numbers in order, from least to greatest.
