Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Two rational numbers -1 and -1/2

4 rational numbers between -1 and -1/2

Solution:

We know that if a and b are two rational numbers then the rational numbers can be found by taking the average of the two rational numbers

Thus,

1st rational number

Average of -1 and -1/2

$=\frac{-1-1/2}{2}=-\frac{3}{4}$

2nd rational number

Average of -1 and -3/4

$=\frac{-1-3/4}{2}=-\frac{7}{8}$

3rd rational number

Average of -3/4 and -1/2

$=\frac{-3/4-1/2}{2}=-\frac{5}{8}$

4th rational number

Average of -3/4 and -5/8

$=\frac{-3/4-5/8}{2}=-\frac{11}{16}$
