Question

Find five rational numbers between $-1$ and $1$.

Answer 1

Compute the required rational numbers:

A Rational number can be defined as, any number which can be expressed in the $\frac{p}{q}$ form, where $q\ne 0$.

• Given two rational numbers are $-1$ and $1$.
• By multiplying both numerator and denominator of $\frac{-1}{1}$ and $\frac{1}{1}$ by 3, we get, $\frac{-3}{3}$ and $\frac{3}{3}$ respectively.
• Therefore, the rational numbers between $\frac{-3}{3}$ and $\frac{3}{3}$ are $\frac{-2}{3},\frac{-1}{3},0,\frac{1}{3}$ and $\frac{2}{3}$.

Hence, the five rational numbers between $-1$ and $1$ are $\frac{-2}{3},\frac{-1}{3},0,\frac{1}{3}$ and $\frac{2}{3}$.
