Answer 2

The two consecutive integers between which the fraction 5/7 lies are 0 and 1. (option B)

Given,

Fraction:

$\frac{5}{7} .$

To find,

Between which two consecutive integers the given fraction lies.

Solution,

Here, we can see that a fraction is given, which is

$\frac{5}{7} .$

Now, the following rules are applicable to the fractions, which can be used to solve the given problem.

1. When the denominator is less than the numerator, the fraction is more than 1, and
2. When the denominator is more than the numerator, the fraction is less than 1.

As we can see that for the given fraction,

∵ 7 > 5

⇒ denominator > numerator

Thus,

$\frac{5}{7} < 1.$

⇒ 5/7 lies between 0 and 1.

Therefore, the two consecutive integers between which the fraction 5/7 lies are 0 and 1. (option B)
