Answer:

C.
(-5)/(2) is located on the left of -1.

Explanation:

"<" means "lesser than", therefore
(-5)/(2) < -1 means that
(-5)/(2) is smaller than -1. Smaller numbers are always located on the left of the other number in a number line.

If you had these numbers: 2, 0 and 1 you would organize them like this: "0 < 1 < 2". This is the same.
