Question

Find five rational number between 1/5 and 1/2

Answer 1

Heya..

Let's first make the denominator equal.. so let's take LCM

LCM of 5 and 2 is 5 * 2 = 10

Then... Make the denominator equal..

$\frac{1}{5} \ * \ \frac{2}{2} \ = \ \frac{2}{10}$

$\frac{1}{2} \ * \ \frac{5}{5} \ = \ \frac{5}{10}$

Now..We need to find 5 rationals so lets multiply the fractions with 6

$\frac{5}{10} \ * \ \frac{6}{6} \ = \ \frac{30}{60}$

$\frac{2}{10} \ * \ \frac{6}{6} \ = \ \frac{12}{60}$

Now u can choose any 6 rationals between this..

$\frac{13}{60} \ , \ \frac{14}{60} \ , \ \frac{16}{60} \ , \ \frac{18 }{60} \ , \ \frac{20}{60}$

Hope its right and helps...
