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

Question :

Find rational numbers lying between $\frac{1}{3}$ and $\frac{1}{2}$.

Answer :

• $\frac{5}{12}$ is the answer.

Solution :

→ $\frac{1}{2}$ ( $\frac{1}{3}$ + $\frac{1}{2}$ )

→ $\frac{1}{2}$ ( $\frac{2 + 3}{6}$ ) = $\frac{1}{2}$ × $\frac{5}{6}$ = $\frac{5}{12}$

• The numbers that can be expressed in the form of a/b is known as rational numbers.
