Answer:
∴ Five rational numbers between 6/24 and 12/24 are 7/24, 8/24, 9/24, 10/24, 11/24
Step-by-step explanation:
Every number that can be expressed as a “decimal number” with finitely many digits (so they “stop”) is rational. Also repeating decimals are rational numbers.
1/4 = 0.25
1/2 = 0.50
If you can think of 5 numbers between 25 and 50, for example, you are done.
0.26, 0.28, 0.33, 0.39, 0.44 are five such numbers.
Worried about writing those as fractions? No problem! 0.26 is 26/100, 0.28 = 28/100, etc.
