−1 12

Answer 1

Let's evaluate each statement one by one:

1. −2 is less than −2 12.

   • This can be interpreted as $-2<-2.12$. Since $-2$ is not less than itself, this statement is False.

2. 1.5 is greater than 1.

   • This statement is $1.5>1$. Since $1.5$ is greater than $1$, this statement is True.

3. 1 is greater than −12.

   • This can be written as $1>-12$. Since $1$ is indeed greater than $-12$, this statement is True.

4. −1 12 is less than −12.

   • The expression $-112$ seems ambiguous and likely means $-1.12$ (if it were an error in writing). We can check this as $-1.12<-12$. Since $-1.12$ is greater than $-12$, this statement is False.

To summarize:

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