How to find the four rational numbers between 2/3 and 5/2 when denominator is not same.
Answers
Answer:
rational numbers.
(i) 2/3 and 4/5
The LCM of both denominators is 15.
We shall multiply the numbers to get the denominator as a multiple of 15
Multiplying both the numerator and denominator of 2/3 by 20, we get
2/3 = 2/3 × 20/20 = 40/60
Multiplying both the numerator and denominator of 4/5 by 12, we get
4/5 = 4/5 × 12/12 = 48/60
The five rational numbers between 2/3 and 4/5 can be taken as:
41/60, 42/60, 43/60, 44/60, 45/60
(ii) -3/2 and 5/3
The LCM of both denominators is 6.
So we shall multiply the numbers to get the denominator as a multiple of 6
Multiplying both the numerator and denominator of -3/2 by 3, we get
-3/2 = -3/2 × 3/3 = -9/6
Multiplying both the numerator and denominator of 5/3 by 2, we get
5/3 = 5/3 × 2/2 = 10/6
The five rational numbers between -3/2 and 5/3 can be taken as:
-8/6, -7/6, 1, 3/6, 5/6
