Question

Find the five rational number between. -1/3 and 1/4

Answer 1

Answer:

-3/12 , -2/12 , -1/12 , 0/12 , 1/12 , 2/12.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given numbers,

-1/3 and 1/4

There two methods to find rational numbers between two rational numbers

(a) The mean method

(b) The equivalent method

Equivalent is the easiest method

First we have to maintain equal denominators for that first let us take L.C.M for both numbers -1/3 and 1/4

L.C.M is 12

So,

-1/3 x 4/4 = -4/12

1/4 x 3/3 = 3/12

Let us check the rational numbers between them

-3/12 , -2/12 , -1/12 , 0/12 , 1/12 , 2/12.

So, here you can take any five from following

Hope it will help you,
