To find 5 rational no's between 2/5 and 1/2

$\huge{\boxed{\boxed{\underline{\rm{\purple{Answer}}}}}}$

• Take the LCM of the denominators.
• Here the denominators are 5 and 2.
• LCM of 5 and 2 is 10.

So, 2/5 = 2/5×2/2 = 4 / 10

1/2 = 1/2 × 5/5 = 5 / 10

So we see that there are no numbers between 4/ 10 and 5/ 10

Here you have to multiply the fractions with same numbers ( ie 10,100,1000 etc.)

So In this case I am multiplying the fractions with 10

So 4/10 × 10/10 = 40 / 100

5/ 10 = 5/10 × 10/ 10 = 50/ 100

So 5 rational no's between

40/ 100 and 50 /100 are 41 /100,42/100,43 /100,44/100,45/100
