Absolute Value and Number Order

Medium

(Originais Teachy 2023) - Question Medium of Mathematics

In a math competition, students were challenged to sort a list of integers in ascending order, but they made a mistake with one of the numbers. The original list was: -5, 7, 3, 0, -2. However, one of the students recorded the absolute value of a negative number instead of the number itself. After correcting this error, the corrected list became: -5, 7, 3, 0, 2. Which number was incorrectly recorded by the students, and what is the absolute value of that number? Explain how the absolute value was used to correct the error in the list. Then, reorder the corrected list in ascending and descending order.

In a science project, students need to measure different volumes of liquids for their experiments. The scale used to measure the volume of water can only measure in multiples of 100 milliliters. When measuring, the scale shows 450.725 grams of water. We know that the density of water is 1 g/ml. (1) Round the volume measured by the scale to the nearest milliliter. (2) Explain why the scale provided a number in grams instead of milliliters and how you used the density of water to convert the measurement back to volume in milliliters.
