Q3 of 30 Page 7

Find five rational numbers between 1 and 2.

We can represent a rational number between two numbers a and b as

(a + b)/2


Now, put a = 1 and b = 2.


Then,


Rational number between 1 and 2


Rational number between 1 and 3/2


Rational number between 1 and 5/4 =


Rational number between 5/4 and 3/2


Rational number between 3/2 and 2


Hence, five rational numbers between 1 and 2 are 3/2, 5/4, 9/8, 11/8 and 7/4.
