Question

Find a rational numbers lying between 1/3 and 1/2​

Answer 1

$\huge{\color{t}{\textsf{\textbf {\underline{\underline{ Anѕwєr : }}}}}}$

Let

• x = 1/3
• y = 1/2

=> required rational number lying between x and y

= 1/2(x+y)

= 1/2 (1/3+1/2)

= 1/2x5/6

= 5/12

• Hence, 5/12 is a rational number lying between 1/2 and 1/3

Answer 2

$\huge{\color{red}{\textsf{\textbf {\underline{ Anѕwєr : }}}}}$

Let,

• x = 1/3
• y = 1/2

Required rational number lying between x and y

• = 1/2(x+y)

• = 1/2 (1/3+1/2)

• = 1/2x5/6

= 5/12

Hence,

• 5/12 is a rational number lying between 1/2 and 1/3
