Find a rational number between \(\frac{-1}{3}\) and \(\frac{1}{2}\) |
|
Answer» To find a rational number x between two rational numbers \(\frac{a}{b}\) and \(\frac{c}{d},\) we use \(\text{x}= \frac{1}{2}(\frac{a}{b}+\frac{c}{d})\) Therefore, to find rational number x (let) between \(\frac{-1}{3}\) and \(\frac{1}{2}\) \(\text{x}= \frac{-1}{2}(\frac{-1}{3}+\frac{1}{2})\) \(\Rightarrow\) \(\text{x}=\frac{1}{2}(\frac{-1\times2+1\times3}{6})\) \(\Rightarrow\) \(\text{x}= \frac{1}{2}(\frac{-2+3}{6})\) \(\Rightarrow\) \(\text{x}=\frac{1}{2}\times\frac{1}{6}\) \(\Rightarrow\) \(\text{x}=\frac{1}{12}\) |
