Answer: -1 1/2 is greater

Explanation:

-1 1/2 is closer to zero and that makes it larger because they are negative numbers.

Answer:

The answer is -1 1/2 is less than -1 3/4

Explanation:

I look at it more as numbers, so for example 1/2 can be simplified into 50, and 3/4 is 75/ 75 would be greater if it was positive. But, with there being a negative 1 in front of the answer, the lowest number closest to 0 is better. :D
