Answer 1

Among the given options, only A) -8/5 is less than -0.625, as it is equivalent to -1.6. B) -5/8 is equal to -0.625, and C) -0.5 is greater than -0.625.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question asks which of the following numbers are less than -0.625:

• A) -8/5
• B) -5/8
• C) -0.5

To compare these numbers, let's first convert -8/5 and -5/8 to decimal form:

• A) -8/5 = -1.6
• B) -5/8 = -0.625
• C) -0.5 = -0.5

Now, let's compare each number to -0.625:

• -1.6 is less than -0.625, so A) -8/5 is a correct answer.
• -0.5 is greater than -0.625, so C) -0.5 is not a correct answer.
• -5/8 is equal to -0.625, so B) -5/8 is not less than -0.625 and is not a correct answer.

Therefore, the number that is less than -0.625 is A) -8/5.

Answer 2

A) -8/5

Step-by-step explanation:

First, convert -8/5 and -5/8 to decimals

-8/5 = -1.6

-5/8 = -0.625

-0.5 is greater than -0.625 because it is closer to 0.

So, the only number less than -0.625 is -8/5, which is equivalent to -1.6

So, the correct answer is A) -8/5
