Question 330312
Think about the number line.

To the letf of zero, we find negative numbers; to the right of zero, we find positive numbers.

As negative numbers get closer to zero (numbers traveling to the right), they get bigger.  This means that -5/2 is bigger than -3 because it is closer to zero.

We write this as: -3 < -5/2 or -5/2 > -3
