Answer:

the selected list is correct

Explanation:

Negative numbers with larger magnitudes are smaller in value, so -2 is less than -1.5.

A fraction is smaller in value if it has a smaller numerator and the same denominator. It is also smaller in value if it has the same numerator and a larger denominator.

2/5 is smaller than 3/4 because it has both a smaller numerator and a larger denominator. So the ordering of the positive numbers is 2/5, 3/4.

The ordering you want is the one checked.
