To identify the three true statements, let's evaluate each one:

  1. −0.3 is less than 1/5:

    • Convert 1/5 to a decimal: 1/5 = 0.2.
    • Since -0.3 (−0.3) is less than 0.2, this statement is true.
  2. 0.6 is greater than 1:

    • 0.6 is actually less than 1. Thus, this statement is false.
  3. −1 is less than −4/5:

    • Convert -4/5 to a decimal: -4/5 = -0.8.
    • Since -1 (−1) is less than -0.8, this statement is true.
  4. 0 is greater than −0.5:

    • 0 is indeed greater than -0.5. Thus, this statement is true.
  5. −3/5 is greater than 0:

    • Convert -3/5 to a decimal: -3/5 = -0.6.
    • Since -0.6 is less than 0, this statement is false.

The three true statements are:

  1. −0.3 is less than 1/5.
  2. −1 is less than −4/5.
  3. 0 is greater than −0.5.
