Math Problem Statement
Solution
To solve the problem of finding eight rational numbers between the given pairs of fractions, here’s how it can be approached:
(i) Between -1/3 and 2/7
-
Convert these fractions to have a common denominator (e.g., 21):
-
Rational numbers between and : Examples: .
(ii) Between 2/3 and 4/3
-
Convert these fractions to have a common denominator (e.g., 3):
- and already have common denominators.
-
Rational numbers between and : Examples: .
(iii) Between 3/-4 and -1/2
-
Convert these fractions to have a common denominator (e.g., 8):
-
Rational numbers between and : Examples: .
(iv) Between -1/5 and 1/5
-
Convert to common denominators:
- and already have common denominators.
-
Rational numbers between and : Examples: .
(v) Between -2 and -1
- Rational numbers between and : Examples: .
(vi) Between -2 and 0
- Rational numbers between and : Examples: .
