How to find rational numbers between two given numbers?

If m and n be two numbers such that m < n then 1/2 (m + n) is a rational number between m and n.


1)Find the rational numbers between -3 and -2

Ans;Required number = 1/2 (-3 +(-2))
=1/2(-5)
= -1/10

Hence, -1/10 is a rational number lying halfway between -3 and -2

2) Find the rational numbers between -3/5 and -1/5

Ans: Required number = 1/2 (-3/5 + (- 1/5))
=(1/2)*(- 4/5)
= - 4/10
Hence, - 4/10 is a rational number lying between - 3/5 and - 1/5.
