.

−1 12

Answer 1

Let's evaluate each statement one by one:

1. −2 is less than −2 1/2.
   This statement is False.
   \(-2\) is equal to \(-2\) and is greater than \(-2\) 1/2 (\(-2.5\)).

2. 1.5 is greater than 1.
   This statement is True.
   \(1.5\) is indeed greater than \(1\).

3. 1 is greater than −1/2.
   This statement is True.
   \(1\) is greater than \(-0.5\).

4. −1 1/2 is less than −1.
   This statement is True.
   \(-1\) 1/2 (\(-1.5\)) is indeed less than \(-1\).

So, the summary of the evaluations:

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