Answer 2

negative 3 over 5 is located on the right of −2

Explanation:

Given the inequality expression;

Expressing as decimal

-0.6 > -2

The inequality is true since - 0.6 is greater than -2

The value of -2 and - 0.6 are both located towards the left of the number line with -0.6 located close to the origin and -2 located to the left of - 0.6. If -2 is located to the left of -0.6, this mean that - 0.6 is located to the right of -2.

From the option, negative 3 over 5 is located on the right of −2 is therefore correct.
