Find ten rational numbers between 3 by 5 and 4 by 5
Answers
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Rational numbers are numbers that can be expressed in a ratio for example
1.5 = 3/2 .. 1.5 is half of 3 !
so all you have to do is find numbers like 3.1 , 3.25 etc
now... how do we 'rationalize'(turn percentage into ratios) them?
stay with me on this one
if we are adding a percentage like 0.5 for example
What does it mean? It is half of 1 !
0.25 is 1/4 of 1!
If you are crossing a road of length 1km and you cross 0.25km then you have crossed one fourth of the road!
Now heres how you find the ratio
Lets take 0.25 for this one !
multiply it with 100 ( 0.25 x 100 ) = 25
Now show it in a ratio with 100 like this
25/100 ( 25 out of 100 is same as saying 0.25 out of 1 )
now make the smallest number you can
We can start of by dividing both sides by 5
that gives 5/20
now lets divide both sides by 5 again
we get 1/4!
thats it so you can write 3.25 like 3¹/₄
If you want to rationalize this more you can multiple 3 with the denominator and add the numerator with it
3¹/₄ will be ((3x4)+1)/ 4 or 13/4
Lets do one more example
3³/₂
this will be ((3 x 2)+1)/2 or 7/2
find the other numbers between 3 and 5 like this
