Question

$\frac{5}{6}$ lies between $\frac{2}{3}$ and $1$

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

Let us express the given rational numbers with a common denominator.

$\Rightarrow \frac{2}{3}=\frac{2}{3}\times \frac{2}{2}$ (Multiplying both numerator and denominator by $2$)

$=\frac{4}{6}$

And, $\Rightarrow 1=1\times \frac{6}{6}$ (Multiplying both numerator and denominator by $6$)

$=\frac{6}{6}$

We know, clearly $\frac{5}{6}$ lies between $\frac{4}{6}$ and $\frac{6}{6}$

Hence,$\frac{5}{6}$ lies between $\frac{2}{3}$ and $1$.

Thus, the given statement is true.
