Question

Find a rational number between −1/3 and 1/4​

Answer 1

a rational number between-1/3,1/4is 0

Answer 2

Given,

The range of the numbers is in between -⅓ and ¼

To find,

A rational number which lies in the given range.

Solution,

We can solve this mathematical problem by using the following mathematical process.

Let,

-⅓ = x

¼ = y

(Assume, x and y as variables to do the further mathematical calculations.)

The rational number in given range

= ½ (x+y)

= ½ (-⅓ + ¼)

= ½ (¼-⅓)

= ½ (3-4/12)

= ½ × (-1/12)

= -1/24

(This rational number lies in given range.)

Hence, the rational number is -1/24
