Question #fa38a

Answer 1

`-3/2 < -5/4< -4/5 < 1.5`

Explanation:

The larger the digits in a negative number the smaller the number is. Think about negative numbers as money owned. The more money owned the less money there is to spend. So the negative number with the larger digits is the smaller number

`-3/2 = - 1.5`
`-5/4 = - 1.25`
`-4/5 = -0.8`

so the negative number with the largest digits is `-3/2` so it is the smallest followed by `-5/4` then `-4/5`

`1.5` is a positive number. All positive numbers are greater than all negative numbers so `1.5` is the greatest

`-1.5 < -1.25< -0.8<1.5` so

`-3/2< -5/4< -4/5 < 1.5`
