Question

a rational number between 1/2 and 3/5 is:

(the answer should be 5/8 or 1/4)​

Answer 1

Answer:

I think that both the answers are wrong,here's why

Step-by-step explanation:

first we take the lcm=40

now we have to convert all the fractions into like fractions

1/2=20/40

3/5=24/40

5/8=25/40

1/4=10/40

we need to find a number between 20/40 and 24/40. the options are 25/40 ( larger than 24/40,so it's incorrect) and 10/40 ( smaller then 24/40,so it's also incorrect)

hence,none of these is a rational number between 20/40 and 24/40
