Question

find 3 rational numbers lying between 1/5 and 1/4

Answer 1

Solution :-

To find the 3 rational number between 1/5 and 1/4, we have to convert these unlike fractions into like fractions.

First we will multiply numerator and denominator of 1st fraction by 40. 
⇒ (1/5)*(40/40)
= 40/200

Then multiply the numerator and denominator of 2nd fraction by 50.
⇒ (1/4)*(50/50) 
= 50/200

Now, the fractions we got are 40/200 and 50/200, which are like fractions.

There are more than 3 rational numbers between them.
These are 41/200, 42/200, 43/200, 44/200, 45/200, 46/200, 47/200, 48/200 and 49/200
