Question

PLEASE HELP I DON'T HAVE ANYTIME LEFT!!!!

Which inequality is true? Use the number line to help.

A number line going from negative 2.5 to positive 2.5 in increments of 0.5.

Negative 1.5 greater-than 0.5
Negative 0.5 greater-than 0
Negative 1.5 less-than negative 0.5
One-half greater-than 0.5

Answer 1

Negative 1.5 less than negative 0.5

Explanation:

False, negative 1.5 would not be greater than 0.5 since negative 1.5 is a negative meaning it goes to the left of the zero, so it is less than 0.

False, negative 0.5 is again less than 0 so therefore it would not be greater.

False, one half is the same as 0.5 just in word form.

That means, negative 1.5 is less than negative 0.5 since it is further away from the 0.5 going to the left.
