Insert five rational numbers between the given rational numbers (a) −3 8 and −4 9 (b) 5 7 and 1 2​

Answer 1

Answer:

to insert 5 rational numbers between them

Step-by-step explanation:

a) -3/8 and -4/9

making denominator same

-3 * 9/8*9= -27/72

-4*8/9*8= -32/72

we can only find 4 rational numbers between them but we need to find out 5, so we multiply both by 5

-27*5/72*5 = -135/ 360

-32*5/72*5 = -160 / 360

the rational number are

-136/360 , -137/360 , -138/360 , -139/360 , -140/360

solve the second by your own
