Answer:

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)
