b/w -2/3
and
1/4​

Answer 1

Answer :

We have,

• The two rational number $\dfrac{-2}{3}$ and $\dfrac{1}{4}$

To do,

• Find a rational number between $\dfrac{-2}{3}$ and $\dfrac{1}{4}$

Solution :

Formula to be used :

$\huge{\boxed{\sf{\dfrac{x + y}{2}}}}$

Here,

• The value of x is $\dfrac{-2}{3}$
• The value of y is $\dfrac{1}{4}$

Put the values in formula :

=${\sf{ \dfrac{-2}{3}+\dfrac{1}{4}×\dfrac{1}{2}}}$

=${\sf{\dfrac{-8+3}{4}×\dfrac{1}{2}}}$

=${\sf{\dfrac{-5}{4}×\dfrac{1}{2}}}$

=${\sf{\dfrac{-5}{8}}}$

•°• The number between -2/3 and 1/4 is -5/8.
