Question

5/10 lies between 1/2 and 1. True or False? Why?

Answer 1

Answer:

false it should be false because i asked newton and einstien

Answer 2

The statement is false.

explanation:

Given :    $\frac{5}{10}$= $\frac{1}{2}$ = 0.5   and  $\frac{1}{2}$ = 0.5

On the number line, 0.5 doesn't lie between 0.5 and 1 but it is the edge number.

The equivalent fraction of $\frac{1}{2}$ with the denominator 10 is $\frac{5}{10}$ and the equivalent fraction of 1 with the denominator 10 is $\frac{10}{10}$. Clearly, $\frac{5}{10}$ is the edge rational number and does not lie between $\frac{1}{2}$ and 1.

Hence, the statement is false.
