Inserting a fraction between two given fractions are discussed below:
If a/b and c/d are two given fractions and a/b < c/dthen a/b < (a+c)/(b+d) < c/d.
now let's discuss our question.
(1) 1/5 and 3/7.
(i) a=1 b=5 c=3 d=7 1+3/5+7 =4/12=1/3. (ii)we insert a fraction between 1/5 and 1/3 which will become automatically less than 3/7. a=1 b=5 c=1 d=3 1+1/5+3=2/8=1/4 (iii) a=1 b=5 c=1 d=4 1+1/5+4 =2/9
