Answer:
There are two ways to find the rational number between any two numbers. I will tell you an easy method to find it.
As we have to find 5 rational numbers between 1 & 2
Take 5 and add 1 to it i.e. 5+1= 6
Now take the first number and multiply and divide it by 6 i.e.
1x6/6 = 6/6
Also take the second number and multiply and divide it by 6 i.e.
2x6/6= 12/6
This is done to convert 1 & 2 into rational number i.e. in form of p/q
Now we have two numbers 6/6 and 12/6 so five rational numbers between them are
7/6, 8/6, 9/6, 10/6, 11/6
The values of these number you can check will be between 1 & 2. Actually between any two number there are infinite number of rational numbers.
