Question

Find three rational numbers between 1/4 and 1/5 .​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Convert the given two fraction with the same denominator 20 [LCM of 4 & 5]

1/5=4/20 and 1/4=5/20

As we have to find five rational numbers between them multiply both the

numerator and denominator by 6 (5+1)

4/20*6/6=24/120 and 5/20*6/6=30/120

Now the rational numbers are 25/120.26/120,27/120,28/120, 29/120

i.e 5/24.13/60,9/40,7/30,29/120

Note If you want to find ’n’ rational numbers multiply both numerator and

denominator of equal factions by (n+1)

Answer 2

Answer:

Therefore the three rational numbers between 1/5 and 1/4 are:

17/80 , 18/80 and 19/80 .
