Question

Which inequality is true? Use the number line to help. A number line going from negative 2.5 to positive 2.5 in increments of 0.5. Negative 1.5 greater-than 0.5 Negative 0.5 greater-than 0 Negative 1.5 less-than negative 0.5 One-half greater-than 0.5

Answer 1

C

Explanation:

Answer 2

Given:

A number line going from negative 2.5 to positive 2.5 in increments of 0.5.

To find:

The inequality which is true.

Solution:

Consider the number line as shown in the below figure.

We know that, on a line as we go to the left direction, the number become smaller and as we go right, the numbers become larger.

From the number line it is clear that -1.5 is on the left side of 0.5. So,

`-1.5<0.5`

Hence, option A is incorrect.

-0.5 is on the left side of 0. So,

`-0.5<0`

Hence, option B is incorrect.

-1.5 is on the left side of -0.5. So,

`-1.5<-0.5`

Hence, option C is correct.

One half is equal to 0.5.

`(1)/(2)=0.5`

Hence, option D is incorrect.
