O-1.5 <-0.5
o 2205

Answer 1

C. -1.5 < -0.5

Explanation:

On a number line, the farther a number is to the right away from 0, the greater the number. While the farther it is from 0 to the left, the smaller it is.

Thus, the out of the options given, the only inequality given that is true is:

-1.5 < -0.5

This is because, -1.5 on the numberline is farther away to the left from 0 than -0.5. therefore, -1.5 is lesser than -0.5.
