Answer 1

Let's evaluate each of the statements one by one:

1. **−35 is greater than 0.**
This statement is **false**. −35 is less than 0.

2. **negative 3 fifths is greater than 0.**
This statement is **false**. Negative 3 fifths (−0.6) is less than 0.

3. **0 is greater than −0.5.**
This statement is **true**. 0 is greater than −0.5.

4. **0 is greater than negative 0 point 5.**
This statement is also **true**. 0 is greater than −0.5.

5. **0.6 is greater than 1.**
This statement is **false**. 0.6 is less than 1.

6. **−1 is less than −45.**
This statement is **true**. −1 is greater than −45, but it is still less than −1.

7. **negative 1 is less than negative 4 fifths.**
This statement is **true**. -1 is less than -0.8 (or -4/5).

8. **−0.3 is less than 15.**
This statement is **true**. −0.3 is indeed less than 15.

Based on this evaluation, the three true statements are:

1. **0 is greater than −0.5.**
2. **0 is greater than negative 0 point 5.**
3. **−0.3 is less than 15.**

(Note: If we select three statements, the two versions of the same statement can be combined as one.)
