Answer 2

Answer:

5 rational numbers between $\frac{1}{2}$  and $\frac{-3}{2}$ are  $\frac{5}{20} , \frac{6}{20} , \frac{7}{20}, \frac{8}{20} , \frac{9}{20}$

Step-by-step explanation:

To find : 5 rational numbers between $\frac{1}{2}$  and $\frac{-3}{2}$

Solution:

• According question we have to find rational numbers between  $\frac{1}{2}$  and $\frac{-3}{2}$ for this we need to equalize denominators of the rational numbers if the are not same by taking LCM.
• Here , we see that denominators of both rational numbers are same . Therefore , there is no need to equalize denominators .But , we cannot find 5 rational numbers between them , therefore we convert rational numbers as multiples of $10$ .
• $\frac{1}{2}= \frac{1\times 10}{2\times 10} = \frac{10}{20}$   and  $\frac{-3}{2}= \frac{-3\times 10 }{2\times10} =\frac{-30 }{20}$
• 5 rational numbers are : $\frac{5}{20} , \frac{6}{20} , \frac{7}{20}, \frac{8}{20} , \frac{9}{20}$
