Answer:

-1/10, 2/10, and 4/10

Explanation:

A rational number is a number that is in the form of p/q, where p and q are integers, and q is not equal to 0.

First, what is the lcm of 5 and 2? the lcm is 10, because that is the lowest number than can be divided separately by 5 and 2 and the results would still be a whole number.

We now need to find 3 rational numbers between -2/10 and 5/10. It's easy now that I've explained it, right?

-1/10, 2/10, and 4/10 are between -1/5 and 1/2 and are integers with the given explanation.

Hope this helps.
