Answer:

-3 1/2 > -4.5

Explanation:

1.5 > 2 1/2 False

1/2 > 0.5 False

-2.5 > -1.5 False

-3 1/2 > -4.5 True

1.5 > 2 1/2

1/2 = 0.5

2 + 0.5 = 2.5

1.5 is not > 2.5

1.5 < 2.5

1/2 > 0.5

1/2 = 0.5

0.5 is not > 0.5

0.5 = 0.5

-2.5 > -1.5

Negative numbers are oposite of positive numbers when using inequalities. Just as 0 < 1, -1 < 0.

-2.5 is not > -1.5

-2.5 < -1.5

-3 1/2 > -4.5

1/2 = 0.5

3 + 0.5 = 3.5

-3.5 > -4.5
