HALFWAY BETWEEN THE TWO RATIONAL NUMBERS

To find rational numbers between the given rational numbers, we have two different ways.

Find three rational numbers between 2/3 and 3/4.

Method 1 :

To find a rational number halfway between any two rational numbers given in fraction form, add the two numbers together and divide their sum by 2.

a = 2/3 and b = 3/4

Method 2 :

By creating equivalent fraction :

In between 32/48 and 36/48, we have

33/48, 34/48, 35/48

Problem 1 :

Find ten rational numbers between -2/5 and 1/2

Solution :

Since we are finding 10 rational numbers, let us use the second method.

Problem 2 :

Find five rational numbers between 2/3 and 4/5

Solution :

Since we are finding 5 rational numbers, let us use the second method.

Problem 3 :

Find five rational numbers between -3/2 and 5/3

Problem 4 :

Find five rational numbers between 1/4 and 1/2

Solution :

a = 1/4 and b = 1/2

Let c be the halfway between a and b.

a = 1/4 and b = 3/8

Let d be the halfway between a and b.

a = 1/4 and b = 5/16

Let e be the halfway between a and b.
