Answer 1

Let's evaluate each statement one by one:

1. −2 is less than −2 12.

   • In this case, you may need to convert −2 12 to an improper fraction or a decimal to compare. The mixed number −2 12 is equivalent to -2.5.
   • So, -2 is not less than -2.5.
   • Answer: False

2. 1.5 is greater than 1.

   • Indeed, 1.5 (which is 1 and a half) is greater than 1.
   • Answer: True

3. 1 is greater than −12.

   • 1 is indeed greater than -12.
   • Answer: True

4. −1 12 is less than −12.

   • Converting −1 12 gives us -1.5.
   • -1.5 is less than -12, as -12 is further to the left on the number line.
   • Answer: False

In summary:

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