I got it right on edge

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,

$-1.5$

Hence, option A is incorrect.

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

$-0.5$

Hence, option B is incorrect.

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

$-1.5$

Hence, option C is correct.

One half is equal to 0.5.

$\dfrac{1}{2}=0.5$

Hence, option D is incorrect.
