Solution Steps

Fraction \frac{1}{-2} can be rewritten as -\frac{1}{2} by extracting the negative sign.

$$1\geq -\frac{1}{2}-1$$

Convert 1 to fraction \frac{2}{2}.

$$1\geq -\frac{1}{2}-\frac{2}{2}$$

Since -\frac{1}{2} and \frac{2}{2} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$1\geq \frac{-1-2}{2}$$

Subtract 2 from -1 to get -3.

$$1\geq -\frac{3}{2}$$

Convert 1 to fraction \frac{2}{2}.

$$\frac{2}{2}\geq -\frac{3}{2}$$

Compare \frac{2}{2} and -\frac{3}{2}.

$$\text{true}$$
