Question

write five rational number between -5/7 and 7/8

Answer 1

-5/7*8/8=-40/56
7/8*7/7=49/56
therefore five rational numbers between -5/7 and 7/8 are:
47/56, 41/56, 39/56, 33/56, 4/7

Answer 2

The five rational numbers between -5/7 and 7/8 are $\frac{42}{56},\frac{43}{56},\frac{45}{46},\frac{46}{56},\frac{48}{56}$

Given:

The given rational numbers are -5/7 and 7/8

To Find:

we need to find the rational numbers between the given numbers.

Solution:

To find the rational numbers we need to get them under the same denominator. So we will take the LCM of the given two rational numbers.

The LCM of the rational numbers is 7(8)=56

$\frac{-5(8)}{7(8)}=\frac{-40}{56}$

$\frac{7(7)}{8(7)}=\frac{49}{56}$

We have to write the rational numbers in between them

$\frac{42}{56},\frac{43}{56},\frac{45}{46},\frac{46}{56},\frac{48}{56}$

Therefore, the five rational numbers between them are

$\frac{42}{56},\frac{43}{56},\frac{45}{46},\frac{46}{56},\frac{48}{56}$
