Three rational numbers between

1/3 and 1/5 are 4/15, 3/10, and 7/30

Given:The two numbers are 1/3 and 1/5

To find:The rational number between two numbers

Solution:Now, to find the rational number, add the numbers and divide their sum by 2.

(i) First rational number between

1/3, 1/5 = 1/3+1/5=8/5

Divide 18/5 by 2------> 8/15 x 1/2= 8/30= 4/15

The series becomes, 1/3, 4/15, 1/5

(ii) Second rational number

= 4/15+1/5 = 7/15

Divide

7/15 by 2 ------> 7/15 x 1/2 = 7/30

Hope this helps!
