1. 3.7 is your answer

   Step-by-step explanation:

   because an absolute value is the opposite of an number like -4.8 is 4.8

2. 20 ÷ (5 × 2 - 6) + 8=20:(10-6)+8=20:4+6=5+6=11

   (20 ÷ 5) × 2 – 6 + 8=4*2-6+8=8-6+8=2+8=10

   20 ÷ (5 × 2) – 6 + 8=20:10-6+8=2-6+8=-4+8=4

   (20 ÷ 5) × (2 – 6) + 8=4*(-4)+8=-16+8=-8

3. The code with explanatory comments are given in Python below

   Explanation:

   #2.22

   s = "Lionel Pogba"   #string s with names having LP as initials

   names = s.split()  #splits the string into individual characters

   initial = ""  #we are initialising the initials as an empty string

   for i in names:

      initial += i[0]  #making the initials of the string

   print(initial)

   #2.23

   l = [3, 7, -2, 12]  

   range = (max(l) - min(l))  #declare and initialise variable range for the range

   print(range) #output of the range

   #2.24

   l1 = [3, 7, 17, -2, 12]

   #(a)

   midIndex = int(len(l1)/2)  #evaluates half the length of the list

   #which corresponds to the middle index of the list

   print(midIndex)

   #(b)

   print(l1[midIndex])  #assigns the value of the middle index of the list

   #corresponding to the middle element

   #(c)

   l1.sort(reverse=True) #reverses the elements of the list to descending order

   print(l1)

   #(d)

   firstValue = l1[0]  #firstValue variable representing the first element

   l1 = l1[1:] + [firstValue] #assigning the location to the last position

   print(l1)

4. Positive 3.7

   The only time absolute is negative is if the negative is outside absolute value
   |-5|=5
   |5|=5
   -|5|=-5
