Let's evaluate each of the statements:

  1. −1 is less than −45.
    False. (−1 > −45)

  2. negative 1 is less than negative 4 fifths.
    True. (−1 < −0.8)

  3. −35 is greater than 0.
    False. (−35 < 0)

  4. negative 3 fifths is greater than 0.
    False. (−0.6 < 0)

  5. 0 is greater than −0.5.
    True. (0 > −0.5)

  6. 0.6 is greater than 1.
    False. (0.6 < 1)

  7. −0.3 is less than 15.
    True. (−0.3 < 15)

So, the three true statements are:

  • Negative 1 is less than negative 4 fifths.
  • 0 is greater than negative 0.5.
  • −0.3 is less than 15.
