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 \(-1 \frac{2}{3}\).
