Question

Determine if the statements are true or false. You can use the number line to assist you. (4 points) True False 2 is less than 2 12 . −1.5 is greater than −1 . −1 is greater than 12 . 1 12 is less than 12 .

Answer 1

Let's determine the truth value of each statement one by one:

1. **2 is less than 2**
This statement is **False**. A number cannot be less than itself.

2. **−1.5 is greater than −1**
This statement is **False**. On the number line, −1.5 is to the left of −1, so −1.5 is actually less than −1.

3. **−1 is greater than 12**
This statement is **False**. −1 is to the left of 12 on the number line, meaning it is less than 12.

4. **12 is less than 12**
This statement is **False**. Similarly to the first statement, a number cannot be less than itself.

So, all statements are **False**.
