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 \(\frac{1}{2}\)

\(\text{x}= \frac{-1}{2}(\frac{-1}{3}+\frac{1}{2})\)

\(\Rightarrow\) \(\text{x}=\frac{1}{2}(\frac{-1\times2+1\times3}{6})\)

\(\Rightarrow\) \(\text{x}= \frac{1}{2}(\frac{-2+3}{6})\)

\(\Rightarrow\) \(\text{x}=\frac{1}{2}\times\frac{1}{6}\)

\(\Rightarrow\) \(\text{x}=\frac{1}{12}\)
