Absolute value measures the distance of a number from zero, ignoring its sign. For a fraction, the absolute value is found by converting any negative signs to positive, e.g., | -4/5 | = 4/5. This process highlights the concept of magnitude, emphasizing that negative and positive values are treated equally in terms of distance from zero.
