Samuel and leticia are playing a game. after the first round of the game, samuel's score was -19 and leticias score was 21. the score with the greater absolute value wins each round. who won the first round? explain

Leticia won the first round

==============================================================

Your teacher is basically asking "which value is further from zero on the number line?". The value -19 is 19 units away from zero; while 21 is 21 units away from zero.

See the attached image below. Each "space" is a distance of 1

Absolute value measures distance along the number line. Distance is never negative. In terms of notation, you would say

|-19| = 19 and |21| = 21

The outputs 19 and 21 are then compared. We see that 21 is larger, so therefore, Leticia has the higher score and she won the first round.
