find four rational numbers between 2/3 and 4/5
Answers
Answer: Firstly, 2/3 = 2×5 / 3×5
= 10/15
4/5 = 4×3 / 5×3
= 12/15
We can find four rational numbers between 2/3 and 4/5 by multiplying them with 4 + 1 = 5
Then, 10/15 × 5/5
50/75
= 12/15 × 5/5
= 60/75
= The Rational Numbers - 51/75, 52/75, 53/75, 54/75......... , Etc.
Given,
Two numbers = 2/3 and 4/5
To find,
four rational numbers between the given
Solution,
First, we need to find out the LCM of the denominators
So, LCM of 3 and 5 is 15
The first two numbers will be when we multiply 2/3 with 5/5 and 4/3 with 5/5
That is,
2/3 x 5/5 = 10/15
and
4/3 x 3/3 = 12/15
then, we can multiply the answers we got by either 5/5 or 3/3 to get the other numbers. It is better to multiply by 5/5
So,
10/15 x 5/5 = 50/75
12/15 x 5/5 = 60/75
Thus the four rational numbers between 2/3 and 4/5 are 52/75, 54/75, 56/75 and 58/75
