Question

<------------------------------------------------------->
-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
