fin the three rational numbers between 1/8 and 1/12
Answers
Step-by-step explanation:
1/8 AND 1/12 LCM = 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 = 8 x 3 = 24
1/8 x 3/3 = 3/24
1/12 x 2/2 = 2/24
Here we see that we cannot find 3 numbers so we multiply it more
.
3/24 x 5/5 = 15/120
2/24 x 5/5 = 10/120
now we can find
10/120 , 11/120 ,12/120 , 13/120 , 15/120
At first we need to find the LCM of the denominators.
That is LCM of 8 and 12 is 24
Now we need to make the denominators of both 24.
Like
1/8×3/3=3/24
And
1/12×2/2=2/24
Now we get the two numbers with same denominators.
Then we can easily find out the three rational numbers between them as
At first we need to multiply 10/10 with the both.
So,we will get
2/24×10/10=20/240
And
3/24×10/10=30/240
And now the three rational numbers are
20/240 < 21/240 < 22/240 < 23/240 < 3/240
I hope you got your answer and got totally understood that.
THANK YOU.
