1 answer

Let's evaluate each statement:

  1. −0.3 is less than 15.

    • True. -0.3 is negative and much less than 15.

  2. Negative 0.3 is less than 1/5.

    • True. -0.3 (or -3/10) is less than 0.2 (or 1/5).

  3. −35 is greater than 0.

    • False. −35 is a negative number and is less than 0.

  4. Negative 3/5 is greater than 0.

    • False. -3/5 is negative and is less than 0.

  5. 0.6 is greater than 1.

    • False. 0.6 is less than 1.

  6. 0.6 is greater than 1.

    • This appears to be a repetition of the previous statement and is also false.

  7. −1 is less than −45.

    • True. -1 is closer to 0 than -45, so -1 is greater than -45 (or less negative).

  8. Negative 1 is less than negative 4/5.

    • True. -1 (or -5/5) is less than -0.8 (or -4/5).

  9. 0 is greater than -0.5.

    • True. 0 is greater than any negative number.

The three true statements are:

  1. −0.3 is less than 15.
  2. Negative 0.3 is less than 1/5.
  3. 0 is greater than -0.5.
