Answer 1

The correct option is B

To find the rational number between $\frac{1}{8}$ and $\frac{1}{6}$. Let's find the mean of both given numbers.

$(\frac{1}{8}+\frac{1}{6})÷2$

$=\left(\frac{3+4}{24}\right)÷2$

$=\frac{7}{24}\times \frac{1}{2}$

$=\frac{7}{48}$ is a rational number between $\frac{1}{8}$ and $\frac{1}{6}$.
