State the following statement is true or false:

$\frac{5}{12}$ lies between $\frac{1}{3}$ and $\frac{1}{2}$.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

The average of the two numbers will be in between the two numbers.
$\frac{\left(\frac{1}{3}\right)+\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)}{2}$

$=\frac{\left(\frac{5}{6}\right)}{2}$

$=\frac{5}{12}$ is a rational number which lies between $\frac{1}{3}and\frac{1}{2}$.
