1.

State whether the statement are true (T) or false (F).5/6 lies between 2/3 and 1.

Answer»

True.

Express each of the given rational numbers with 6 as the common denominator.

Now,

(2/3)= [(2×3)/ (2×2)] = (4/6)

(1)= [(1×6)/ (1×6)] = (6/6)

Then,

= 4/6 < 5/6 < 6/6

= 2/3 < 5/6 < 1

So, 5/6 lies between 2/3 and 1.
