Answer 2

QUESTION :

Choose the correct option :

• Rational number between 1/2 and 1/3 is

a) −2/5

b) 2/5

c) 2/3

d) 1/4

Answer :

Option b.2/5 is correct.

Rational number between 1/2 and 1/3 is 2/5.

Given :

The rational numbers 1/2 and 1/3

To find :

The rational number between the given two rational numbers

Solution :

First of all we need to convert the given two rational numbers into like fractions :

1/2 and 1/3

The L.C.M of the denominators 2 and 3 is 6.

Hence,

1/2 × 3/3 = 3/6

and ,

1/3 × 2/2 = 2/6

The rational numbers are 3/6 and 2/6 .

In decimal 3/6 = 0.5 and 2/6 = 0.33

In decimal , -2/5 = -0.4

2/5 = 0.4

2/3 = 0.66

1/4 = 0.25

Hence , 0.4 is present between 0.33 and 0.5 .

or , 2/5 is present between 2/6 and 3/6

Thus, Rational number between 1/2 and 1/3 is 2/5.
