Answer:

2/5, 7/15, 8/15, 3/5, 2/3

Explanation:

If these fractions are expressed with a common denominator, that would be 3×5 = 15. Then the given fractions are 1/3 = 5/15, and 4/5 = 12/15. The numerators 5 and 12 differ by 7, so we can easily choose 5 fractions in that range:

6/15 = 2/5

7/15

8/15

9/15 = 3/5

10/15 = 2/3

Alternate solutions

There is no requirement for the fractions to be written any particular way or with any particular spacing. The limits in decimal are 1/3 = 0.3333...(repeating) and 4/5 = 0.8. We could choose the decimal fractions ...

0.34, 0.40, 0.50, 0.60, 0.70

or

0.41, 0.52, 0.63, 0.74, 0.79
