List five rational numbers between:
(i) – 1 and 0
(ii) – 2 and – 1
(iii) ![]()
(iv) ![]()
Note: Rational number is any number that can be expressed in the form of p/q, where p and q are integers and q ≠ 0.
(i) We have to find five rational numbers that lie between the numbers -1 and 0.
Five rational numbers between -1 and 0 are:
![]()
(ii) Here, we have to find five rational numbers that lie between the numbers -2 and -1.
![]()
Therefore,
Five rational numbers between -2 and -1 are:
![]()
(iii) Here, we have to find five rational numbers that lie between the numbers
and ![]()
Now,
![]()
And,
= ![]()
Thus, we write five rational numbers between
and
as:
![]()
(iv) Here, we have to find five rational numbers that lie between the numbers
and ![]()
So, ![]()
And,
= ![]()
Therefore, five rational numbers between
and
are: ![]()
