Stephen Evans · Answer 1

-8

Step-by-step explanation:

Since absolute value means the distance from zero to the number, it basically means turning all numbers that are negative to positive and positive to positive. So taking the absolute value of all the numbers, we get 3,8,2 and 5. So the largest one is - 8.
