Determine if the statements are true or false TrueFalse 2 is less than 2 1/2.

Question

−1.5 is greater than −1
−1 is greater than 1/2
1 1/2  is less than 1/2

Answer 1

Let's evaluate each statement one by one:

1. 2 is less than 2 1/2.

   • True: 2 is less than 2.5 (2 1/2).

2. −1.5 is greater than −1.

   • False: −1.5 is less than −1 on the number line.

3. −1 is greater than 1/2.

   • False: −1 is less than 0, and thus it is less than 1/2.

4. 1 1/2 is less than 1/2.

   • False: 1 1/2 (or 1.5) is greater than 1/2.

So, the answers are:

1. True
2. False
3. False
4. False
