Question

Find a rational number between -1/3 and 1/2

Answer 1

1/6

Explanation:

Rational numbers between two rational numbers:

• First find the Least Common Denominator for 2 and 3
• Then find equivalent fractions with the LCD.

LCD of 2 and 3 = 6

`\sf (-1)/(3)=(-1*2)/(3*2)=(-2)/(6)\\\\(1)/(2)=(1*3)/(2*3)=(3)/(6)`

`\sf Rational \ number \ between \ (-2)/(6) \ and \ (3)/(6) \ is \ \bf (1)/(6)`
