Answer:
First method to find rational number between two numbers:
Since we have to find 5 rational numbers between 3/5 and 4/5, so we will mutiply the numerator and denominator of the given numbers by 5+1, i.e. equal to 6.
We get,
3
5
=
3
×
6

6
=

35=3×65×6=1830 and

=

45=4×65×6=2430
Now, we have to find 5 rational numbers between 18/30 and 24/30, which will come as

=(1930),(23),(710),(1115) and
(

)
(2330)
Thus, five rational numbers between 3/5 and 4/5 are

(

(

)
(2330)
You can find as many rational numbers between given numbers using method given above.
Second method to find rational number between two numbers:
(1) One rational number between given numbers 3/5 and 4/5 will be the average between them.
Thus, average between 3/5 and 4/5 will be equal to

(2) Rational number between 3/5 and 7/10 will be the next rational number between 3/5 and 4/5, since 7/10 is a rational number between 3/5 and 4/5. Thus, next rational number between 3/5 and 7/10 can be found by calculating average between them. Calculation is as follows:

(3) Similarly, rational number between 4/5 and 7/10 will be the another rational number between 3/5 and 4/5. This another rational number between 3/5 and 4/5 can be found by calculating average between 4/5 and 7/10, calculation is as follows:

(4) Similarly, rational number between 3/5 and 13/20 will be the another rational number between 3/5 and 4/5, which can be found by calculating average between 3/5 and 13/20, calculation is as follows:

(5) Similarly, rational number between 3/5 and 5/8 will be the another rational number between 3/5 and 4/5, which can be found by calculating average between 3/5 and 5/8, calculation is as follows:
3

Thus, five rational numbers between 3/5 and 4/5 are 7/10, 13/20, 3/4, 5/8 and 49/80
You can find more rational numbers between the given two numbers 3/5 and 4/5 using above method.
