Given:
(1/2+3/4)divided by 2
To find:
Express(1/2+3/4)divided by 2 as a rational number and show that it lies between 1/2 and 3/4
Solution:
From given, we have,
(1/2 + 3/4) divided by 2
⇒ (1/2 + 3/4) ÷ 2
⇒ [(2 + 3)/4] ÷ 2
⇒ (5/4) × 1/2
⇒ 5/8
Hence 5/8 is the rational representation of (1/2 + 3/4) divided by 2
5/8 = 0.625
1/2 = 0.5
3/4 = 0.75
0.5 < 0.625 < 0.75
Hence 5/8 lies between 1/2 and 3/4
