Step-by-step explanation:
First of all, remember that a rational number is any number that can be expressed as the quotient of two integers, that is, it can be expressed as a/b, where both a and b are integers and b does not equal zero. Examples of rational numbers are: 1/2, 3/4, 22/7, 5 = 5/1, .6 = 6/10 = 3/5, and 2½ = 5/2.
One way to find a rational number between 2 and 3 is to ADD a simple fraction greater than 0 but less than 1 to positive integer 2 (A simple fraction is a fraction having a whole number for the numerator and a nonzero whole number for the denominator).
Example: 2 + ½ = 2½ = 5/2. Another example: 2 + ¾ = 2¾ = 11/4.
Another way to find a rational number between 2 and 3 is to SUBTRACT a simple fraction greater than 0 but less than 1 from positive integer 3.
Example: 3 - ½ = 6/2 - 1/2 = 5/2 =2½. Another example: 3 - ¾ = 12/4 - 3/4 = 9/4 = 2¼.
