Answer 1

To determine which statements are true, let's analyze each one individually:

1. **−35 is greater than 0**
- This statement is **false**. -35 is a negative number and is less than 0.

2. **negative 3 fifths is greater than 0.**
- This statement is **false**. Negative 3 fifths (-0.6) is also a negative number and is less than 0.

3. **0 is greater than −0.5.**
- This statement is **true**. 0 is indeed greater than -0.5.

4. **0 is greater than negative 0 point 5.**
- This statement is also **true**. It is the same as the previous statement, just phrased differently.

5. **0.6 is greater than 1.**
- This statement is **false**. 0.6 (or 3/5) is less than 1.

6. **−1 is less than −4/5.**
- This statement is **true**. -1 is less than -0.8 (or -4/5).

7. **−0.3 is less than 1/5.**
- This statement is **true**. -0.3 (or -3/10) is less than 0.2 (or 1/5).

Based on the analysis, the three true statements are:

- 0 is greater than −0.5.
- 0 is greater than negative 0 point 5.
- −1 is less than −4/5.
- −0.3 is less than 1/5.

Since only three true statements are requested, we can list these three:

1. 0 is greater than −0.5.
2. 0 is greater than negative 0 point 5.
3. −1 is less than −4/5.
