Convert to Decimal Form: To compare the numbers, we need to express them in a common format. Let's convert the fractions to decimal form.A: −58=−1.6B: −85=−0.625C: −0.5
Compare to −0.625: Now let's compare each number to −0.625.A: −1.6 is less than −0.625 because the more negative a number, the smaller it is.B: −0.625 is equal to −0.625, so it is not less than −0.625.C: −0.5 is greater than −0.625 because −0.5 is closer to zero.
Identify Numbers Less Than −0.625: We can now identify which numbers are less than −0.625. A: −1.6 (or −(8)/(5)) is less than −0.625. B: −(5)/(8) is not less than −0.625 because it is equal to −0.625. C: −0.5 is not less than −0.625.
