The distance between -1 and 12 is 13.

Explicar

## Step 1<br />The absolute value of a number is its distance from zero on the number line, regardless of direction. It is always a positive number or zero. The absolute value of a number \(a\) is denoted as \(|a|\).<br /><br />## Step 2<br />To express the distance between the numbers -1 and 12 using absolute value, we subtract the smaller number from the larger one and take the absolute value of the result. This is because the absolute value number is always positive, and the distance between two numbers is always a positive number.<br /><br />### **|-1 - 12| = |-13| = 13**<br /><br />## Step 3<br />To find the distance by evaluating the absolute value expression, we simply calculate the absolute value of the difference between the two numbers.<br /><br />### **|-1 - 12| = |-13| = 13**
