Given : A red and blue are placed at the position 1/2 and 1/3 respectively on a number line .
Shikha wants to place four yellow balls between these two balls
To Find : positions of yellow balls
Solution:
Let say 4 Rational number inserted are A , B , C & D
1/3 A B C D 1/2
1/2 - D = D - C = C - B = B - A = A - 1/3 = k
1/2 - 1/3 = 5k
=> 1/6 = 5k
=> k = 1/30
A= 1/3 + k = 1/3 + 1/30 = 11/30
B = A + k = 11/30 + 1/30 = 12/30
C = B + k = 12/30 + 1/30 = 13/30
D = C + k = 13/30 + 1 = 14/30
Positions of yellow Balls are
11/30 , 12/30 , 13/30 and 14/30
or
11/30 , 2/5 , 13/30 , 7/15
1/3 11/30 2/5 13/30 7/15 1/2
or another method
First get same denominator
1/2 = 3/6
1/3 = 2/6
to insert 4 rational number multiply numerator and denominator by 4+ 1 = 5
2/6 = 10/30
3/6= 15/30
4 rational numbers between 11/30 , 12/30 , 13/30 , 14/30
