Answer:

-1.5 = -3/2

-4/5 > -5/4

-3/5 = -6/10

-2/3 < 1/3

Explanation:

If you convert -3/2 into a decimal, it equals -1.5

-5/4 is an improper fraction which makes it greater than one, but since it is negative, it is further away from zero making it less than -4/5

-3/5 is the simplified form of -6/10. 3x2= 6 and 5x2=10

1/3 is positive making it greater than any negative
