$\frac{2}{4}$ and $\frac{4}{7}$

Answer: $\frac{15}{28}$

SOLUTION 1 :

$\frac{2}{4}$ and $\frac{4}{7}$

a = $\frac{2}{4}$ , b = $\frac{4}{7}$

Let q1 be the rational number between $\frac{2}{4}$ and $\frac{4}{7}$

q1 = $\frac{1}{2}$ (a+b)

1	x	2x7	+	4x4
2	x	4x7	+	7x4

[LCM of 4 and 7 is 28]

1	x	14	+	16	=	1	x	30	=	30	=	$\frac{15}{28}$
2		28		28		2		28		56

Hence, $\frac{15}{28}$ is a rational number between $\frac{2}{4}$ and $\frac{4}{7}$

Find one rational number between the following pairs of rational numbers.(ples use / )

$\frac{2}{4}$ and $\frac{5}{8}$

Answer: $\frac{9}{16}$

SOLUTION 1 :

$\frac{2}{4}$ and $\frac{5}{8}$

a = $\frac{2}{4}$ , b = $\frac{5}{8}$

Let q1 be the rational number between $\frac{2}{4}$ and $\frac{5}{8}$

q1 = $\frac{1}{2}$ (a+b)

1	x	2x8	+	5x4
2	x	4x8	+	8x4

[LCM of 4 and 8 is 32]

1	x	16	+	20	=	1	x	36	=	36	=	$\frac{9}{16}$
2		32		32		2		32		64

Hence, $\frac{9}{16}$ is a rational number between $\frac{2}{4}$ and $\frac{5}{8}$

Find one rational number between the following pairs of rational numbers.(ples use / )

$\frac{2}{5}$ and $\frac{5}{8}$

Answer: $\frac{41}{80}$

SOLUTION 1 :

$\frac{2}{5}$ and $\frac{5}{8}$

a = $\frac{2}{5}$ , b = $\frac{5}{8}$

Let q1 be the rational number between $\frac{2}{5}$ and $\frac{5}{8}$

q1 = $\frac{1}{2}$ (a+b)

1	x	2x8	+	5x5
2	x	5x8	+	8x5

[LCM of 5 and 8 is 40]

1	x	16	+	25	=	1	x	41	=	41	=	$\frac{41}{80}$
2		40		40		2		40		80

Hence, $\frac{41}{80}$ is a rational number between $\frac{2}{5}$ and $\frac{5}{8}$

Find one rational number between the following pairs of rational numbers.(ples use / )

$\frac{3}{6}$ and $\frac{4}{9}$

Answer: $\frac{17}{36}$

SOLUTION 1 :

$\frac{3}{6}$ and $\frac{4}{9}$

a = $\frac{3}{6}$ , b = $\frac{4}{9}$

Let q1 be the rational number between $\frac{3}{6}$ and $\frac{4}{9}$

q1 = $\frac{1}{2}$ (a+b)

1	x	3x9	+	4x6
2	x	6x9	+	9x6

[LCM of 6 and 9 is 54]

1	x	27	+	24	=	1	x	51	=	51	=	$\frac{17}{36}$
2		54		54		2		54		108

Hence, $\frac{17}{36}$ is a rational number between $\frac{3}{6}$ and $\frac{4}{9}$

Find one rational number between the following pairs of rational numbers.(ples use / )

$\frac{3}{4}$ and $\frac{3}{9}$

Answer: $\frac{13}{24}$

SOLUTION 1 :

$\frac{3}{4}$ and $\frac{3}{9}$

a = $\frac{3}{4}$ , b = $\frac{3}{9}$

Let q1 be the rational number between $\frac{3}{4}$ and $\frac{3}{9}$

q1 = $\frac{1}{2}$ (a+b)

1	x	3x9	+	3x4
2	x	4x9	+	9x4

[LCM of 4 and 9 is 36]

1	x	27	+	12	=	1	x	39	=	39	=	$\frac{13}{24}$
2		36		36		2		36		72

Hence, $\frac{13}{24}$ is a rational number between $\frac{3}{4}$ and $\frac{3}{9}$

Find one rational number between the following pairs of rational numbers.(ples use / )

$\frac{3}{5}$ and $\frac{3}{8}$

Answer: $\frac{39}{80}$

SOLUTION 1 :

$\frac{3}{5}$ and $\frac{3}{8}$

a = $\frac{3}{5}$ , b = $\frac{3}{8}$

Let q1 be the rational number between $\frac{3}{5}$ and $\frac{3}{8}$

q1 = $\frac{1}{2}$ (a+b)

1	x	3x8	+	3x5
2	x	5x8	+	8x5

[LCM of 5 and 8 is 40]

1	x	24	+	15	=	1	x	39	=	39	=	$\frac{39}{80}$
2		40		40		2		40		80

Hence, $\frac{39}{80}$ is a rational number between $\frac{3}{5}$ and $\frac{3}{8}$
