Question

List three rational numbers between - 2 and - 1 ka answer

Answer 1

Hi.

$\text{-2 can be written as - \dfrac{2}{1} and, -1 can be written as - \dfrac{1}{1} .}\\\\\\\text{To find 3 rational numbers between -2 and -1, multiply both of them by \dfrac{4}{4} .}\\\\\\-1 \times \dfrac{4}{4} = \dfrac{-1 \times 4}{1 \times 4} = - \dfrac{4}{4}\\\\\\\text{Similarly,} -2 \times \dfrac{4}{4} = \dfrac{-2 \times 4}{1 \times 4} = - \dfrac{8}{4}\\\\\\\text{Clearly, 3 rational numbers between -1 and -2 or \dfrac{-4}{4} and \dfrac{-8}{4} are:}$

$\boxed{\boxed{\dfrac{-5}{4}, \: \dfrac{-6}{4} \: and \: \dfrac{-7}{4}}}$
