The lines on either side of the negative integer represent that we need to find its absolute value. The absolute value of a number is its real distance from zero on a number line; therefore, we need to calculate how many spaces the number is tot he left of zero on a number line. This number is a distance from zero and will not be negative. All absolute values are positive.
Therefore, the absolute value—or distance from zero—is the following:

Square 0.44.
Square 0.44.
To square a number means to multiply it by itself, so we seek to compute
To multiply two decimal fractions, first multiply, ignoring the decimal points:
Move the (implied) decimal point the number of spaces right equal to the total number of digits right of the decimal points in the factors; this can be seen to be four:
The square of 0.44 is 0.1936.

Rachel earns 
an hour as an assistant in a science lab. How many 
hour work weeks will she need to work in order to pay for a car that costs 
?
Rachel earns
Start by figuring out how much Rachel can earn in each week by multiplying her hourly rate by the number of hours worked each week.
Now, divide the amount she needs to earn by the amount earned each week to find how many weeks she will need to work to earn that amount.
Rachel must work for 
weeks in order to earn enough for the car.
