$- 2 and - 6$
$2 and 4$

Answer 1

to obtain rational number between -2&-6

sol: one rational number between a & b =
$\frac{a \: + b}{2}$
=-2 ,( -2)+(-6)/2,-6.
= -2,-8/2,-6.
= -2,-4,-6.
the obtained rational number is -4.

2. the rational number between 2&4 .
sol:
=2,2+4/2,4.
=2,6/2,4.
=2,3,4.

therefore the obtained rational number between 2 &4 is 3.
