Answer -0.99 and -4/5

Explanation:

-4/5 is equal to -0.8

Both -0.8 and 0.99 are to the left of -0.65, which is why they're less than 0.65.

1/6 = -0.16

Since -0.16 is to the right of -0.65 it is more than, not less

My reason:

As you go rightward, you increase the numbers by 1, which is why the numbers closer to the right are bigger than the numbers closer to the left.

(sorry for answering when it's already been two weeks lol. I felt the urge to answer-)
