Question

write a rational number lying between -1/5 &-2/5

Answer 1

-1/5 = -2/10
-2/5 =-4/10
therefore, no. -3/10 lie between them

Answer 2

Concept:

A rational number is a number that can be represented in the form of p/q of two integers, where q ≠ 0.

Given:

-1/5 and -2/5

Find:

We are asked to find five rational numbers between -1/5 and -2/5.

Solution:

We have,

-1/5 and -2/5

Now,

The denominator of the given fractions are same,

So,

Now,

Multiply the numerator and denominator of the new fractions by 2,

We get,

i.e. (-1/5) × 2/2 = -2/10

And,

(-2/5) × 2/2 = -4/10

Now,

The rational number between -2/10 and -4/10,

i.e.

-3/10

So, this is the rational numbers between -1/5 and -2/5.

Hence, the rational number between 2-1/5 and -2/5 is -3/10.
