Three rational numbers lying between -3/4 and 1/2 are *
Answers
Answer:
-3/4 = -0.75 and 1/2= 0.5
rational numbers between are infinite
they are 0.3 = 3/10, 0.4=2/5, -0.70 = -7/10
Answer:
-5/8,-1/8,3/16
Step-by-step explanation:
The formula needed to apply to find a number between any two numbers is 1/2(a+b). this formula will be used in this question.
1/2(-3/4+1/2)____by formula
= 1/2(-6+4/8)_____cross multiply (you can use LCM method also)
=1/2(-2/8) _____simplified
=1/2×-1/4____-2/8 is reduced to it's lowest term
=-1/8_______simplified
therefore, -3/4<-1/8<1/2
now we will find a rational number between -3/4 and -1/8 -----(1)
and -1/8 and 1/2-----(2)
(1)
1/2(-3/4+-1/8)______by formula
=1/2(-24+-4/32)______cross multiplication
=-1/2(-20/32) ____simplified
=1/2×-5/4______-20/32 is reduced to its lowest term
=-5/8_____simplified
therefore,-3/4<-5/8<-1/8<1/2
(2)
1/2(-1/8+1/2)______by formula
=1/2(-2+8/16)______cross multiplication
=1/2×6/16_______simplified
=1/2×3/8______6/16 is reduced to its lowest term
=3/16
therefore, -3/4<-5/8<-1/8<3/16<1/2
