Question

find a rational number between 1/4 and 1/2

Answer 1

ration number between 1/4 &1/2
when we find the value of these fraction in decimal we get value as
1/4=0.25
1/2=0.5
it means we have to write that number whose value lies between this
so 3/8 is the number whose value lies between there.

Answer 2

Given:

Two fractions 1/4 and 1/2.

To find:

A rational number between the given fractions.

Solution:

First of all, we need to understand that a rational number can be written in the form of p/q.

So,

To find the rational numbers between the given fractions 1/4 and 1/2, we need to make the denominators of both numbers the same.

So, we multiply 2 and 4 on both numerator and denominator of 1/4 and 1/2 respectively. Thus, we have,

$\frac{1 \times 2}{4 \times 2} \: and \: \frac{1 \times 4}{2 \times 4}$

$\frac{2}{8} \: and \: \frac{4}{8}$

So, a rational number between 2/8 and 4/8 is 3/8.

Hence, a rational number between 1/4 and 1/2 is 3/8.
