1 answer

To evaluate the truth of the statements, we need to analyze the inequalities and equalities given:

  1. Negative 1 greater than negative three-fourths

    • \(-1 > -\frac{3}{4}\) is false. (On the number line, -1 is to the left of -3/4)
  2. Negative one-half less than 0

    • \(-\frac{1}{2} < 0\) is true. (Negative one-half is less than 0)
  3. Three-fourths less than negative 1

    • \(\frac{3}{4} < -1\) is false. (Positive three-fourths is greater than -1)
  4. Negative one-fourth = one-fourth

    • \(-\frac{1}{4} = \frac{1}{4}\) is false. (Negative one-fourth is not equal to positive one-fourth)
  5. Negative 1 less than one-fourth

    • \(-1 < \frac{1}{4}\) is true. (Negative one is less than positive one-fourth)

The true statements are:

  • Negative one-half less than 0
  • Negative 1 less than one-fourth
