Answer 1

To determine which numbers are less than \(-1.5\), we can compare each of the given numbers:

1. **\(-1 \frac{1}{3}\)** (which is \(-1.333...\)): This is greater than \(-1.5\).
2. **\(-1 \frac{2}{3}\)** (which is \(-1.666...\)): This is less than \(-1.5\).
3. **\(-1.5\)**: This is equal to \(-1.5\).
4. **\(-1\)**: This is greater than \(-1.5\).

Therefore, the number less than \(-1.5\) is \(-1 \frac{2}{3}\) (or \(-1.666...\)).

To summarize:

- \(-1 \frac{1}{3}\) > \(-1.5\)
- \(-1 \frac{2}{3}\) < \(-1.5\) (this is the correct answer)
- \(-1.5\) = \(-1.5\)
- \(-1\) > \(-1.5\)

So, the answer is **\(-1 \frac{2}{3}\)**.
