Answer: Choice A

Step-by-step explanation:

Since -3/5 > -0.8, this means -3/5 is to the right of -0.8

Larger stuff is to the right of smaller stuff. Another example would be 10 > 7, meaning we have 10 to the right of 7 since 10 is larger.

Any negative value is always to the left of 0, so -3/5 is to the left of 0.

That's why the answer is choice A.
