Determine if the statements are true or false. You can use the number line to assist you.
<------------------------------------------------------->
-2.5 -2 -1.5 -1 -0.5 0 0.5 1 1.5 2 1.5

-2 > -2 1/2
1.5 < 1
1 < -1/2
-1 1/2 > -1/2

OPTIONS: True or False

Answer 1

Let's evaluate each statement using the number line:

1. **-2 > -2 1/2**:
- -2 is the same as -2.0, and -2 1/2 is -2.5. Therefore, -2 is greater than -2.5.
- **True**

2. **1.5 < 1**:
- 1.5 is greater than 1.
- **False**

3. **1 < -1/2**:
- 1 is greater than -0.5.
- **False**

4. **-1 1/2 > -1/2**:
- -1 1/2 is -1.5, which is less than -0.5.
- **False**

So, summarizing:
1. True
2. False
3. False
4. False
