Question

Write four rational numbers between
1/8 and 2/5​

Answer 1

Answer:

1) 21/80

2) 31/160

3) 53/160

You may get different numbers because there are infinite rational numbers between any two numbers.

Answer 2

Answer:

To find : four rational numbers between 1/8 and 2/5.

• to find rational between any two numbers with different denominators we need to make both the denominators equal by taking LCM or by cross multiplying both .

Here we can see that denominators of both numbers  1/8 and 2/5.  are different.

Therefore by taking LCM we equal them -

LCM = 40

we get ,  $\frac{5}{40}$  and  $\frac{16}{40}$

now we can write any four rational numbers between   $\frac{5}{40}$  and  $\frac{16}{40}$

hence four rational numbers are : $\frac{6}{40}, \frac{7}{40}, \frac{8}{40}, \frac{9}{40}$
