Question

insert 5 rational numbers between 3/8 and -1/2

Answer 1

Answer:

firstly make the denominators same by finding LCM

3/8 and -1/2

after finding LCM

3/8=3/8

-1/2= -4/8

so.

2/8, 1/8 ,0/8 , -1/8 ,-2/8 ,-3/8

0/8 is also possible because it is a rational number in the form of p/q where q doesn't equals to 0

Answer 2

$\huge\underline {\color{red}{\sf {Answer:}}}$

To Find :

• 5 rational numbers between $\dfrac {3}{8}$ and $\dfrac {-1}{2}$

Solution :

As, to find rational numbers between any two numbers,

• Firstly make there denominators same.
• We have to multiple them by (n+1) number.
• Here , the value of n is the number of rational's to obtain.

Making the denominator same:

= ${3×2}{8×2}$ = ${6}{16}$

And

= ${-1×8}{2×8}$ = ${-8}{16}$

Now,

According to the Question:

• We have to find 5 rational numbers so , we will multiple (5+1) to the numbers.

That is,

= ${6}{16}$ × 6 = ${36}{16}$

And

= ${-8}{16}$ × 8 = ${-48}{16}$

The 5 rational numbers between 3/8 and -1/2 are -49/ 16 , -50/16 , -51/16 , -52/16 , -53/16 .
