Question

(i) Find three rational numbers between 5 and -2

(ii) Find three rational numbers between
$-\frac{3}{4}$ and $\frac{1}{2}$

Answer 1

(i) Three rational numbers between $5$ and $-2$ are $-1,0$ and $1.$

(ii) We can write $\frac{1}{2}=\frac{1\times 2}{2\times 2}=\frac{2}{4}$

So we need to find $3$ rational number between $\frac{-3}{4}$ and $\frac{2}{4}$.

Three rational numbers between $\frac{-3}{4}$ and $\frac{2}{4}$ are $\frac{-2}{4}$, $0$ and $\frac{1}{4}$.
