what are the rational numbers between 4 and 6
Answers
Answer:
There are infinitely many rational numbers between 4 and 6. We can identify finitely many of them. One such number is 5.

To find:
Rational numbers between 4 and 6
Hint:
A number that is expressible in the form a/b, where a and b are integers and b is non-zero, is called a rational number.
Step-by-step explanation:
1. A rational number between 4 and 6
= (4 + 6)/2 = 10/2 = 5
2. A rational number between 4 and 5
= (4 + 5)/2 = 9/2
3. A rational number between 4 and 9/2
= (4 + 9/2)/2 = 17/4
Similarly we can find rational numbers between 4 and 17/4 and so on ... ...
4. A rational number between 5 and 6
= (5 + 6)/2 = 11/2
5. A rational number between 11/2 and 6
= (11/2 + 6)/2 = 23/4
Similarly we can find rational numbers between 23/4 and 6 and so on ... ...
Answer:
We can find infinitely many rational numbers between 4 and 6 using the above process. However a few of them are,
5, 9/2, 17/4, ... ..., 11/2, 23/4, ... ...
